Chin Implant or Filler: Which One Is Right for You?

The chin is a crucial part of the face and plays a vital role in creating facial harmony. A weak chin can make the overall jawline seem much less defined, thereby throwing off the balance of one’s facial features. A prominent chin prevents the nose from looking too large for the face, while making the neck area appear more defined. Surgical and non-surgical chin enhancement procedures have become increasingly popular as they are an easy and guaranteed way to bring more definition to the lower face. Stay with us as we explain whether a chin implant or filler is the right choice for you.

💉 Chin Filler: Non-Surgical Contouring

Chin filler is a non-invasive technique to get a more sculpted jawline. Chin filler injections bring more sharpness to the lower face and help improve its contours. When the jawline is more pronounced, the face automatically begins to look more youthful.

📍 Chin fillers are a quick in-office procedure and are a non-surgical alternative to chin implant surgery. 

This technique involves the use of dermal fillers in the soft tissue of the jaw area to contour it. However, the results are temporary. Additionally, chin fillers can also address the issue of loss of volume in the chin and jaw areas that people experience with age. 

It also helps enhance chin projection and bring more structure to the lower face for better facial symmetry. 

What is the Process of Getting Chin Fillers?

Dermal fillers for chin enhancement require a consultation with a cosmetic surgeon. This allows the surgeon to evaluate the chin and answer the patient’s questions regarding the procedure and inform them of any risks associated. 

📍 Non-surgical chin augmentation options, such as fillers, require a Board-certified surgeon to administer them, which can minimize the risk of any mistakes or accidents. 

During the procedure, the surgeon begins by cleaning the chin area. This is followed by an application of numbing cream to numb the area. Next, the cosmetic surgeon will inject the filler with precision into particular areas in the chin to contour the area.

📍 The results of the injected chin filler are almost instant, with the patient being able to see the difference after injection. 

There may be some bruising and swelling in the area of the chin filler, which will gradually subside over the next few days.

How Long Do Chin Filler Results Last?

There are several types of chin fillers. The type of filler used and the area it is used on determine how long its effects last. However, hyaluronic acid fillers are one type that only lasts about 6 to 12 months. Calcium hydroxylapatite, which is also a dermal filler, can last for about 12 months. 

Who Are the Ideal Candidates for Chin Filler?

• Individuals with a lack of volume in the chin area. 
• Those who are suffering from a deformity in that area.
• An individual who is unsatisfied with the proportions of their chin.
• Those who do not have any underlying medical conditions. 

How Much Does Chin Filler Cost?

There are a few factors that determine the cost of chin filler. This includes the qualifications of the cosmetic surgeon performing the procedure. It also includes the type and quantity of filler used, in addition to the location where the filler is used. The cost of chin fillers in Turkey can be anywhere between 200 USD and 500 USD.  

🔪 Chin Implant: Surgical Precision for Long-Term Results

Unlike fillers, the chin implant surgery involves the use of an implant by the cosmetic surgeon to enhance the projection of the chin.  This implant is a custom-fit, which means it is designed to look as natural as possible while bringing sharpness and definition to the chin and jaw area. 

The surgeon places the implant in a small space right in front of the jawbone to volumize the chin.

📍 The chin implant surgery is sometimes combined with other procedures, such as a facelift or a rhinoplasty for the chin implant results to achieve even more refined and proportionate results.  

⭐ The surgeons at the Estherian Clinic use X-rays, digital imaging, and other modern techniques to design your surgical plan and decide on a combined procedure that fits your aesthetic goals. 

How is the Chin Implant Surgery Performed?

The chin implant procedure, or Genioplasty in Turkey, is performed under general or local anesthesia. It is the best chin enhancement surgical treatment that gives long-term results. The incision for this surgery is made either inside the mouth or under the chin. The surgeon then makes the space for the implant and carefully places it in front of the chin bone. 

Since chin implants are typically silicone-made, they are quite flexible. These implants are selected by the surgeon to guarantee a natural appearance. 

📍  The surgeon will run lab tests and also carry out a physical exam before the surgery.  

How is the Chin Implant Recovery in Turkey?

The patient can leave the hospital to go home most of the time on the same day after the surgery. Moreover, the surgeon will guide the patient on how to effectively care for their incision. The patient will be asked to get lots of rest, at least for the first 2 weeks post-surgery. Swelling and bruising are expected after surgery as well. 

📍  Long-term healing can take up to 4 months. However, following the care instructions given by the surgeon can ease this process.

How Long Do Chin Implants Last?

Chin implants are permanent. However, natural aging may cause some changes in the chin’s appearance. 

Who is the Ideal Candidate for a Surgical Chin Enhancement?

• Individuals with a weak or recessed chin. 
• Those whose chin requires more definition and the jawline requires contouring. 
• Individuals with realistic expectations of the chin implant surgery results. 
• Those who do not smoke and are at a healthy and stable body weight. 

How Much Does Chin Implant Surgery Cost?

The chin implant surgery in Turkey is significantly more affordable than in the US and the UK, with prices starting from 2000 USD.
