The average Chin Implants Turkey Cost 2026 offers a financially accessible pathway for patients seeking to permanently correct a receding chin (microgenia) and restore facial balance. A weak chin can create an optical illusion that makes the nose appear larger and the neck shorter; by structurally enhancing the chin, we achieve a harmonious “Golden Ratio” profile that enhances your natural features.
Silicone vs. Medpor: Which Material is Best?
When planning a Mentoplasty, the choice of material is as critical as the surgeon’s skill. We primarily use two types of biocompatible materials, each with distinct advantages:
- Solid Silicone: This is the most common material. It is smooth, biologically inert, and relatively easy to insert via a small incision. Its primary advantage is that it is removable if the patient desires a change later. However, because it is smooth, it requires precise fixation to prevent shifting.
- Medpor (Porous Polyethylene): This material has a textured, porous surface. This allows the patient’s own blood vessels and tissue to grow into the implant, anchoring it extremely securely like natural bone. While this offers superior stability and a very natural feel, it is much more difficult to remove in revision cases.
To ensure no visible scarring on the face, the implant is typically inserted through an intraoral incision (inside the mouth, between the gum and lower lip). In some cases, a submental incision (under the chin) is preferred for precise screw placement.
Clinic Care Center: Expert Warning (Bone Resorption)
A specific risk with chin implants is bone resorption—where the pressure of the implant causes the underlying jawbone to slowly erode over many years. This is rare but possible if the implant is too large or placed incorrectly. At Clinic Care Center, we minimize this risk by using screw fixation to immobilize the implant and choosing a size that respects your natural anatomy. We prioritize long-term bone health over extreme projection.
Chin Augmentation Cost 2026: Implants vs. Genioplasty
| Procedure Type | Turkey Price (All-Inclusive) | UK/USA Price | Longevity & Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chin Implant (Silicone) | $2,200 – $3,000 | $5,000 – $8,000 | Permanent (Synthetic) |
| Sliding Genioplasty (Bone) | $3,500 – $4,500 | $10,000 – $15,000 | Permanent (Own Bone) |
| Chin Implant + Neck Lipo | $3,000 – $4,200 | $8,000 – $12,000 | Profile Definition Combo |
| Chin Filler (1ml) | $300 – $500 | $800 – $1,200 | Temporary (12-18 Months) |
Is General Anesthesia Required?
One of the cost and recovery benefits of Chin Implants is that they can frequently be performed under Local Anesthesia with Sedation (Twilight Anesthesia). This avoids the grogginess of full general anesthesia and allows for a quicker discharge from the clinic. However, Sliding Genioplasty (cutting and moving the bone) always requires General Anesthesia due to the complexity of the procedure.
Our packages include essential safety diagnostics:
- Pre-op CT Scan: Essential for mapping the position of the mental nerves to avoid injury.
- Post-op Medication: Antibiotics and specialized mouthwash for oral hygiene.
- Compression Chin Strap: To reduce swelling and hold the implant in place during the initial healing phase.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Will I be able to eat normally after surgery?
If your surgery was performed intraorally (inside the mouth), you must stick to a soft/liquid diet (soups, smoothies, yogurt) for the first 3 to 5 days. This prevents food particles from getting lodged in the incision line and minimizes jaw movement while the implant settles.
Does the implant feel unnatural?
Once healed, a well-placed implant feels very similar to your natural chin bone. Silicone implants may feel slightly firmer than bone, while Medpor implants feel almost indistinguishable because your own tissue integrates with them.
Can the implant move?
Implant migration is a risk if the pocket created by the surgeon is too large or if the implant is not secured. This is why we advocate for titanium screw fixation (securing the implant to the bone with a tiny screw). This physically prevents the implant from shifting or rotating.
What is the difference between Chin Implant and Jawline Implant?
A chin implant only addresses the central chin (mental protuberance). A jawline implant (Mandibular angle implant) is a much larger prosthesis that extends along the jaw to the back corners (gonial angles) to widen the face. Jawline implants are significantly more expensive and invasive.
Will I lose sensation in my lip?
The mental nerve, which provides sensation to the lower lip and chin, runs very close to the surgical site. Temporary numbness or tingling (paresthesia) is common due to swelling compressing the nerve. Permanent numbness is extremely rare when the surgery is performed by a specialist using CT guidance.
Can I remove the implant later?
Yes. Silicone implants are relatively easy to remove or exchange if you are unhappy with the size or if you decide to undergo Sliding Genioplasty instead. Medpor implants are much more difficult to remove as they become integrated with your tissues.
