The chin plays an important role for the aesthetics of the face. Unfortunately, not everyone can boast of perfect natural lines and have to think about carrying out an operation. Reasonable prices for mentoplasty make the dream quite real. Among the main indications for correction:

• an asymmetric chin configuration that violates the proportions of the face;
• underdeveloped chin, having a soft teardrop shape;
• massive lower face;
• the consequences of traumatic exposure;
• congenital structural disorders;
• double chin.

Correction by means of a filler can cause the situation to worsen. So often hyaluronic acid migrates. A common consequence of injections is the formation of a "witch`s chin". The lower part of the face droops and acquires an unaesthetic hook-like shape.

All plastic surgery techniques can be divided into three large groups:

• Magnifying. They are designed to get rid of the underdeveloped lower part of the face, correct the weak teardrop shape, balance the oval.
• Reducing. They are shown to people with hypertrophied jaw to harmonize facial features.
• Contouring of the chin. Changes the shape with asymmetry.

The main types of mentoplasty that have proven themselves positively and are popular with patients are listed below.

It refers to augmenting techniques and is based on the use of implants of various shapes and sizes. Most often, silicone endoprostheses are implanted in the patient, which differ in minimal risks of side effects and reduce potential injury. An important advantage is the rapid recovery after the procedure. Implants allow you to achieve an ideal result due to the variety of shapes and sizes of endoprostheses.

The procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia. As a rule, implantation takes no more than 40 minutes. There are two options for endoprosthetics:

• External. It is performed by excision under the jaw, affecting the skin fold.
• Internal. The incision is formed along the mucous membrane behind the lip, which allows you to make the seam invisible to others.

The implant itself is made to order in accordance with the parameters of the patient`s face. In rare cases, silicone is fixed additionally. Usually, to fix the prosthesis, it is enough to simply place it in the desired area and sew up the seam.

This is a more complex technique of plastic surgery based on sawing, displacement and subsequent fixation of the bones of the lower jaw. Used for correction:

• titanium plates;
• collagen threads;
• surgical screws or threads.

Osteotomy allows you to reduce the size of the jaw and adjust its shape. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and involves a long period of rehabilitation. The patient must wear a special fixing bandage for 14 days. After about 7 days, the stitches are removed. The final result can be estimated in about 3 months, when the swelling goes away. The operation is performed by cutting the mucous membrane of the lower lip.

The method of correction is determined based on the patient`s indications, the goals of the plastic surgery and remains at the discretion of the doctor. Both methods have certain differences and features, namely:

• Correction goals. Implants allow you to enlarge the lower part of the face or adjust the shape. Reduction in this way is impossible. Osteotomy is a method of choosing, if necessary, contouring, reduction and enlargement.
• Carrying out the procedure. The endoprosthesis takes place within 40-60 minutes. Surgery on the jaw bones can take up to several hours. In the first case, general or local anesthesia can be used, and in the second – only general.
• Rehabilitation. The recovery process after the implant is installed takes no more than three weeks. The final result from the displacement of the fragments of the jaw bone can be estimated after 3 months.
• Chin surgery cost. The use of endoprostheses will be cheaper than cutting and fixing bone elements.

Thus, implants allow you to adjust the shape of the face as much as the prosthesis allows. Osteotomy makes it possible to create almost any configuration and get rid of pronounced defects.

Liposuction can be used for contour correction of the oval of the face. This is a procedure for removing subcutaneous fat surgically. Important criteria for success are:

• a small amount of body fat;
• elastic and elastic skin;
• absence of chronic and acute diseases in the anamnesis.

Carrying out chin liposuction, before and after pics confirm a pronounced and rapid effect, does not eliminate obesity. After a while, to preserve the result, it is necessary to repeatedly resort to fat removal.

Before installing implants or performing surgery, you need to follow the rules of preparation. So in 2 weeks you need to stop drinking alcohol. If possible, it is better to quit smoking. You should give up:

• Taking aspirin. The drug disrupts the blood clotting process, so it should be excluded 7-10 days before surgery.
• Hormonal treatment. Such tools significantly affect the recovery process.
• Birth control pills. They are also made on the basis of hormones, so they are not recommended for use in the preparation process.

In the first 10-14 days after the operation, smoking and drinking alcohol-containing beverages are strictly prohibited. The rehabilitation process implies:

• Limitation of physical activity. The first two weeks should lead a quiet lifestyle without sports and intense loads. Then you can gradually return to the usual rhythm.
• Compliance with the diet. For the first day, only food is allowed through a tube. Juices, purees, soups crushed in a blender are allowed. Depending on the type of operation, the maxillofacial table can be assigned for 10-14 days. At this time, you can not eat hot food.
• Drug therapy. If it is necessary to take certain medications on a regular basis, it is important to discuss the nuances with a surgeon in advance.

For a quick recovery in the postoperative period, physiotherapy procedures are indicated. The best effect is observed from lymphatic drainage, magnetic therapy, UHF therapy.

Usually, numbness of the lower part of the face is observed after surgery. The condition resolves 3-5 days after surgery and does not require any additional treatment. After surgery, paralysis of the facial muscles or an infectious lesion of the zone is possible. In rare cases, there is rejection of the implant. With poor fixation, the displacement of bone elements is possible.

To minimize possible risks, you should choose a reputable clinic and professional surgeons. These are the ones you can find in Turkey. Due to regular practice and the use of innovative technologies, the risk of complications is extremely low. An important advantage of Turkish plastic surgery is the price available for mentoplasty. Support is also guaranteed at all stages before and after the intervention.
