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.
Istanbul, Turkey — Board-Certified, Multi-Directional
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.
Natural Clinic brings multiple fields of specialised healthcare together under one roof, combining medical expertise, advanced technology and patient-focused care. From hair transplantation and dentistry to facial, body and breast aesthetics, bariatric surgery and reconstructive treatments, every patient journey is managed by experienced medical teams working across disciplines.

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.

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

Plastic Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery
Dr Emre G. qualified in medicine at Uludağ University in 2007 and completed his specialist training in plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery at Bezmialem Vakıf University between 2008 and 2014, with a research post at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. He has worked in both public hospitals and private practice, and the reconstructive half of that training shows in how he plans an aesthetic case. He practises at Natural Clinic in Istanbul.
Education
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.

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.

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

Genioplasty can move the chin in directions an implant never can. Here is how that movement is planned and healed.
Forward, back, up, down or even sideways — a sliding genioplasty can move bone in any of these.
Your plan shows where the bone segment will be cut and how small titanium plates will hold it.
Access is through the inside of the lower lip, so there's no external scar.
With a wound inside the mouth, a soft diet and rinsing after eating keep the area clean.
Lip and chin numbness usually resolves gradually as the bone knits.
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.
The first link is the cheaper operation this page competes with, and the second is the one for fullness that turns out to be fat rather than bone. The hub page compares all three chin approaches side by side if you are still deciding.
Personalised Care, Just for You
Send a photograph straight on and one in true profile — the profile shows projection, the frontal shows the midline. A facial surgeon reviews your case and replies with a realistic, itemised plan — whether this is a bone case or whether the €4,200 implant would achieve the same thing, which directions the segment would move in, what imaging is needed, what it costs with free transfers and the hotel arranged, and how many nights you'll be in Istanbul. No obligation, no pressure, no cost.
