A short operation with a long payoff: medical-grade silicone, a precise pocket on the bone, and an entry route inside the mouth that leaves nothing on the skin — ever.
Front and profile photos, then in-person examination: how much projection, in which direction, and whether an implant — or genioplasty, or nothing — is honestly the right tool for your face.
Dr. Erdal works predominantly with medical-grade silicone implants — the most widely used, longest-track-record material — chosen from a full range of shapes and sizes, including extended designs that blend into the jawline.
The signature of this practice: the implant is placed through a small incision inside the lower lip — no skin is cut, so there is no visible scar, ever. An external (under-chin) route exists and is used only when specifically indicated.
A snug pocket is created directly on the bone and the implant is positioned symmetrically against it — precision here is what decides a natural result and long-term stability.
The implant is stabilised, and the incision is closed with dissolvable sutures inside the mouth. Nothing to remove, nothing visible.
Swelling settles over 2–3 weeks; the chin feels firm and tight at first, then progressively natural. The true result is judged at 2–3 months.
Dr. Erdal works predominantly with solid medical-grade silicone implants — the most widely used chin implant material in the world. It's a solid block (nothing to leak, unlike breast-implant gels), inert, manufactured in precise shapes and sizes including extended designs that blend into the jawline — and it can be removed or exchanged if you ever wish, which makes the procedure essentially reversible.
The implant goes in through a small incision inside the lower lip: no skin is cut, so there is no visible scar, ever. The trade-off is honest — the intraoral route demands meticulous sterile technique and antibiotic cover, and week one means soft foods and mouth rinses. An under-chin route exists and is reserved for specific indications; if that's you, you'll be told exactly why.
The most common chin implant regret worldwide is "too big", not "too small". Sizing here is measured against your lips and nose in true profile, checked against tissue thickness, and chosen with ageing in mind — a modest implant ages gracefully; an oversized one gets louder as tissue thins.
The procedure typically takes less than an hour under sedation or general anaesthesia in an accredited Istanbul facility, performed personally by Dr. Erdal. Combined plans — most commonly with rhinoplasty — share one anaesthesia and are planned individually.
Send front and true-profile photos for a free, measured assessment — including when the honest answer is genioplasty, filler, or nothing.
Share front and profile photos in neutral light. Dr. Erdal will personally tell you whether a chin implant is the right tool for your profile, and outline a tailored plan and all-inclusive quote — with no obligation.
