What is Chin Implant?
Chin implant surgery (mentoplasty) uses a medical-grade silicone implant to enhance a weak or receding chin, creating better facial balance and a more defined jawline. A well-projected chin strengthens the entire facial profile, complementing the nose and neck. MedProper performs mentoplasty in Istanbul's JCI and TEMOS-accredited hospital with a comprehensive all-inclusive package.
How Does Chin Implant Work?
- 1Your surgeon analyses your facial proportions, chin projection, and jawline symmetry during a detailed preoperative consultation.
- 2Under general anaesthesia, an incision is made either inside the lower lip (intraoral) or beneath the chin in the natural crease.
- 3A precise pocket is created over the chin bone, and a pre-shaped silicone implant is positioned and secured.
- 4The incision is closed with fine sutures. If the intraoral approach is used, there is no external scar.
- 5A chin strap dressing is applied to stabilise the implant during the initial healing period.
Who is a Good Candidate for Chin Implant?
- Adults with a receding or underdeveloped chin who desire improved facial balance
- Patients seeking enhanced jawline definition without the complexity of bone surgery
- Non-smokers or individuals who can stop smoking at least two weeks before and after the procedure
- People in good overall health with stable weight and realistic expectations
- Those who understand that implant augmentation differs from sliding genioplasty and may want to discuss both options
Why Choose Chin Implant at MedProper?
Instant facial balance
A stronger chin brings the nose, lips, and jawline into better proportion, often making the nose appear smaller.
Permanent enhancement
Unlike injectable fillers, a chin implant provides a lasting, stable projection that does not require repeat treatments.
Minimal or hidden scarring
The intraoral approach leaves no external scar; the submental approach produces a tiny scar hidden in the chin crease.
All-inclusive Istanbul package
Your €3,800 package covers surgery, implant, JCI-accredited hospital stay, hotel, transfers, medications, and 12-month aftercare.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. By increasing chin projection, the overall facial balance shifts, and the nose often appears more proportionate without any changes to the nose itself.
We use medical-grade solid silicone implants that are soft yet firm, pre-shaped to match natural chin anatomy, and have an excellent long-term safety record.
Absolutely. Chin augmentation and rhinoplasty are one of the most popular surgical pairings because together they significantly enhance facial profile harmony.
If the intraoral approach is used, there is no external scar at all. The alternative submental approach leaves a very small scar beneath the chin that typically fades to a thin line.
The price covers the surgical team, anaesthesia, the silicone implant, JCI-accredited hospital stay, hotel accommodation, airport and clinic transfers, all medications, and 12 months of remote aftercare.
