Istanbul, Turkey — Board-Certified, Multi-Directional

Genioplasty in Turkey

Your Own Bone, Moved in Any Direction.

Genioplasty cuts your chin bone and moves it — forward, back, up, down, or sideways — then holds it there with titanium plates. It's the only chin operation that can correct a chin sitting off your facial midline, since an implant added over a crooked bone leaves it crooked.

Repositioning Versus Adding

One Thing Only Bone Surgery Can Do. One Thing It Costs You.

Genioplasty gets described as a more serious chin implant, which misses what actually separates them. This is bone surgery rather than material placement, and that buys a capability an implant simply does not have — paired with a consequence an implant does not carry.

Chin Augmentation Genioplasty in Turkey

Moves the bone · quoted after CT

Genioplasty

A precise horizontal cut frees the lower segment of your chin bone so it can move forward, back, up, down, or sideways, then titanium plates hold it in its new position while the bone heals. Planning happens on imaging before theatre, not by eye.

Best suited for

A chin sitting off your facial midline — a position problem, not a volume one. An implant added over a crooked bone leaves it crooked; only moving the bone corrects it.

What it costs · typical timeline

Quoted after your CT scan, since cut length, segment movement and plate count are surgical decisions. Osseous union takes six to eight weeks.

  • The only chin operation that can correct an off-centre chin point
  • The cut runs beside the mental nerve, which is why this is more demanding than implant surgery
  • Once healed, there's no exchange — only another operation

€4,200That Is the Implant. This Page's Operation Costs More Than It.

Genioplasty is the one procedure on this site we cannot print a fixed price for, because the cut, the distance and the direction are set by your CT rather than by a catalogue. What we can print is the operation it competes with: a chin implant is €4,200, it is on the list, and it is the cheaper of the two.

*Genioplasty is quoted after your CT scan, since the cut length, segment movement and plate count are surgical decisions, not a fixed line item. The quote includes anaesthesia, hospital stay, transfers, interpreter and 12-month follow-up.

Accredited Theatres

Continuous vital-sign monitoring and one night's hospital stay.

Implant and Osteotomy In-House

So the cheaper recommendation is still one we perform ourselves.

Free Patient Services

Anaesthesia, airport pick-up, VIP transfers, interpreter and examination.

12-Month Follow-Up

Scheduled video check-ins across the full bone-union period.

Why Istanbul

Is It Worth Going to Turkey for Genioplasty?

Short answer: yes, and what to verify is the planning. Placing an implant is a skill most surgeons have; cutting the jaw and fixing it in a new position is a narrower one. Ask to see the CT, ask which direction the segment is being moved in, and ask whether an implant would have achieved the same thing.

Bone Work, Not Only Implants

Genioplasty, chin implants and submental liposuction are all performed in this building, by surgeons who do each of them regularly.

Your CT Read Before You Travel

The cut line, the millimetres, the direction and the plate positions are decided from your own scan. All of it goes in your written plan.

A Genuine Cost Difference

Lower operating, staffing and facility costs plus the exchange rate produce a real difference against the €7,000–€15,000 genioplasty commands elsewhere.

Genioplasty Timeline

Repositioning Your Own Chin Bone

Genioplasty can move the chin in directions an implant never can. Here is how that movement is planned and healed.

  1. Analysis

    Which Direction Does the Chin Need?

    Forward, back, up, down or even sideways — a sliding genioplasty can move bone in any of these.

  2. Planning

    Plates and Screws Explained

    Your plan shows where the bone segment will be cut and how small titanium plates will hold it.

  3. Surgery

    An Incision You Won't See

    Access is through the inside of the lower lip, so there's no external scar.

  4. First Week

    Rinse After Every Meal

    With a wound inside the mouth, a soft diet and rinsing after eating keep the area clean.

  5. Months 1–6

    Sensation Returns Slowly

    Lip and chin numbness usually resolves gradually as the bone knits.

Genioplasty FAQs

Genioplasty: Moving Your Own Chin Bone

A sliding genioplasty reshapes the chin without an implant. Here is what to expect.

Genioplasty, often called sliding genioplasty, is chin surgery in which the lower part of the chin bone is cut, moved into a new position and fixed with small titanium plates and screws. Because your own bone is repositioned, no implant is needed to change the chin's projection or height.

Genioplasty can move the chin forward to increase projection, backward to reduce a prominent chin, upward or downward to change facial height, and sideways to correct asymmetry. This flexibility is the main advantage over a chin implant, which can only add forward projection.

Genioplasty suits people who need more than simple forward projection, such as those with a long or short chin, an asymmetric chin or a significant deficiency. Candidates should have a stable bite and healthy teeth, and bone quality is assessed with imaging before surgery.
