Before deciding on surgical intervention for chin shaping aesthetics, the following evaluations are made:

Health Status Assessment: The patient's general health status is reviewed. Special health conditions, allergic reactions and suitability for anesthesia are evaluated.
Facial Area Examination: The shape, size and harmony of the chin area with the face are examined. Whether the chin tip is in a forward or backward position and the asymmetry in the chin line are evaluated.
Aesthetic Goals: The patient shares the appearance they want to achieve in the chin area with the surgeon. The most appropriate surgical plan is prepared in line with this request.
Information About Risks: The patient is informed about the possible risks and complications related to chin shaping aesthetics. Scars, infection risk and anesthesia complications are explained.

Chin shaping aesthetics is usually performed with the following steps:

Anaesthesia Application: Chin shaping is usually performed under general anesthesia. The patient does not feel pain during the procedure and is completely asleep.
Incision and Surface Procedures: During the surgery, small incisions are made in the chin area. These incisions can be in the lower chin or inside the mouth. The incisions are usually made in places that do not leave a scar.
Chin Shaping: The jawbone is shaped according to aesthetic requests. The tip of the chin can be moved forward, pulled back or made symmetrical. In addition, excess skin on the jawline can be removed.
Procedure Time: Chin shaping aesthetics is an operation that usually takes 1-2 hours, but the time may vary depending on the patient's needs.

The time spent in the hospital after surgery is important for the smooth progress of the healing process. This process is managed as follows:

Monitoring: After chin shaping aesthetics, the patient is monitored in the hospital until the effect of anesthesia wears off. A few hours of rest are usually given after the procedure.
Pain Management: There may be mild pain, swelling and discomfort in the chin area. Painkillers and cold compresses can be used for these symptoms.
Antibiotic Treatment: Antibiotic treatment may be started to reduce the risk of infection. In addition, anti-swelling and anti-inflammatory medications may be given.
Discharge from the Hospital: Chin shaping aesthetics is usually a day procedure and the patient can be discharged the same day. However, some patients may stay in the hospital overnight to monitor their recovery.

The recovery process at home after surgery is very important for a successful result. This process should be managed as follows:

Rest: Rest should be taken care of for the first few days. It is recommended to keep the head elevated and avoid pressure on the chin area.
Wound Care: In order for the scars to heal properly, the area should be kept clean and the care products recommended by the doctor should be used. Massages and touching of the chin area should be done in a way that does not hinder the healing process.
Pain Management: Painkillers and cold compresses can be applied for mild pain and swelling. The medications prescribed by the doctor can be used regularly.
Control Appointments: In order for the healing process to proceed smoothly, control appointments recommended by the doctor should be attended regularly. The first signs of recovery can usually be seen within 1 week.
Physical Activity: Exercises and activities that will put pressure on the jaw area should be avoided for the first few weeks. Rest is recommended for the facial muscles to heal.
Seeing Results: It may take a few weeks for swelling and bruising to completely disappear after chin shaping aesthetics. Full results are usually visible within 2-3 months, and the changes in the jawline become clear.
