The chin plays a central role in overall facial balance—especially when viewed from the side. A weak or recessed chin can make the nose appear larger, disrupt jawline definition, or create a lack of harmony between facial thirds.

Chin augmentation enhances projection, sharpens the jawline, and brings balance to your profile. There are multiple techniques available depending on your anatomy, goals, and whether you want a temporary or permanent result.

⸻

Non-Surgical Chin Enhancement (Filler)

✔ Quick, in-office treatment
✔ No downtime
✔ Ideal for subtle contouring or test-driving a new chin shape
✔ Result lasts 12–18 months depending on the product
⚠ Not suitable for patients seeking major projection or structural support

⸻

Fat Transfer to the Chin

Using your own fat harvested from areas like the abdomen or thighs, microfat transfer can gently enhance chin projection and soften hollows.

✔ Natural tissue
✔ No synthetic material
✔ Long-lasting results in many cases
⚠ Limited in how much projection it can achieve
⚠ Some fat resorption may occur over time

⸻

Chin Implant (Silicone)

A silicone implant placed through a small incision under the chin or inside the mouth creates permanent, predictable projection and shape.

✔ Stronger and more structural enhancement
✔ Customizable shape and size
✔ Quick recovery, no bone cutting
⚠ Rare risks include infection, displacement, or implant visibility in very thin patients

⸻

Sliding Genioplasty (Chin Osteotomy)

This surgical procedure involves cutting and advancing the chin bone itself (without implant). It’s ideal for patients needing more vertical height or precise skeletal advancement.

✔ Uses your own bone—no implant needed
✔ Can adjust both projection and vertical dimension
✔ Often used in complex or asymmetrical cases
⚠ Longer recovery time than implant
⚠ Requires bone healing and fixation

Dr. Göknil Gültekin’s Approach

Dr. Göknil carefully evaluates your facial profile, dental bite, and soft tissue envelope before recommending a chin enhancement method. Her goal is never exaggeration—but refinement that enhances your existing beauty.

Whether using fat, filler, implant, or genioplasty, the aim is always balance, elegance, and long-term harmony with the rest of your facial features.
Can Be Combined with Other Procedures

Because harmony is never one-dimensional.

Chin augmentation is often most powerful when thoughtfully combined with other facial procedures. Enhancing the chin can significantly improve overall balance, especially when paired with surgeries that address the nose, neck, or midface.

Dr. Göknil frequently performs chin augmentation as part of a comprehensive plan for full facial harmony.
