A small, body-friendly implant that adds projection and definition to a weak or recessed chin — bringing the profile into balance with your nose and jawline. Subtle, sized to your face, and usually placed with no external scar.
A chin implant — chin augmentation — adds projection and definition to a chin that sits back or looks soft. A small, body-friendly implant, sized to your face, is placed over the chin bone to strengthen the lower face and bring the profile into balance.
The change is often subtle but makes a real difference to the profile: a chin in better proportion can make the nose look more balanced, the jawline cleaner and the neck more defined. The implant is usually placed through a hidden incision inside the mouth, so there’s no external scar.
The plan is shaped around your profile and what would bring it into balance. Common concerns include:
A chin implant may suit healthy adults with a weak or recessed chin who want a more balanced profile. The decision is made after a detailed assessment of your chin, bite and overall facial proportions.
A soft, body-friendly implant is sized and shaped to your face, then placed over the chin bone through a hidden incision — usually inside the mouth, leaving no external scar, or through a small incision under the chin. It sits snugly over the bone and is secured so it stays in a stable, natural position.
The implant is chosen and shaped for your profile — not a standard size.
Usually placed inside the mouth, so there is no visible external scar.
Positioned over the bone and secured to stay in place.
The chin is read against the nose and the jawline. A chin that sits back can make the nose look larger and the neck less defined, even when both are perfectly normal — so bringing the chin into balance can make the whole profile look cleaner and more harmonious.
For this reason, a chin implant is often planned alongside rhinoplasty — for the nose–chin balance of the profile — or together with neck and jawline work.
A chin implant is usually a short procedure of around 30–60 minutes, under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia. It’s typically a day case, with supportive tape worn over the chin afterwards.

Planned with your nose and jawline in mind, not in isolation.
Supportive tape is worn over the chin in the early days. Mild swelling, tightness and tenderness are normal; if the incision is inside the mouth, soft foods and good oral hygiene are advised at first, and it helps to keep the head elevated.
Tape supports the chin. Swelling, tightness and tenderness are expected; soft foods if the incision is inside the mouth.
Tape and any stitches are checked, and most people return to a light routine as swelling improves.
Swelling settles and the new profile becomes clearer. Avoid pressure or impact to the chin for a while.
The final shape refines over the following weeks as the tissues fully settle around the implant.
The aim of a chin implant is balance, not a dramatic change. The right size strengthens the profile just enough to bring it into proportion — never so much that the chin becomes the first thing you notice. It should read naturally with your nose and jawline.
As with any surgery, results vary from person to person, and the implant is chosen and placed with restraint, for a result that looks like a natural part of your face.

"I had my rhinoplasty done by Dr. Nuran, and I couldn't be happier. She was incredibly professional, talented and attentive throughout. The outcome exceeded my expectations and truly changed my life — I feel so much more confident now. What impressed me most was how smooth the recovery was: almost no swelling or bruising, which speaks volumes about her skill. My nose looks beautiful and natural, exactly what I hoped for."
"I come from Germany and had my nose operated on by Dr. Nuran Erkalp a week ago. I'm very happy with my decision to have the operation in Turkey. The doctor and her team are very friendly and competent — the operation and the whole organisation went really well, and I was looked after very well at the hospital. I can now breathe much better than before. If I had to choose again, I would have her operate on me."
"Knowledge and experience are built up over time. For a patient, the doctor is everything — you first look at their manner, their style, their knowledge, and above all their warmth. Dr. Nuran has all of this and more: her professional knowledge is beyond excellent, and her energy and approach are perfect in every way. I'd go so far as to say she's among the very finest ENT surgeons in the world."
"My years-long inability to breathe was solved thanks to Dr. Nuran. I was so happy with the care from her and her team before, during and after surgery. She shaped my nose to suit my face and resolved my breathing problem at the same time. I'm absolutely delighted."
"She performed a perfect rhinoplasty and deviation surgery, correcting my nasal passages like an architect. I hadn't realised I wasn't really breathing — thanks to her my oxygen levels rose and I made peace with life. My one condition was that the outside of my nose shouldn't change at all, and she kept it exactly as promised. She even stayed by my side until I came round from the anaesthesia. With gratitude, in every deep breath."
"Dr. Nuran is a true master. I'm someone who's wary of recommendations — especially in medicine — yet I recommend her to everyone without hesitation. She's been my doctor for years and has never left a complaint of mine uncured. A month ago I had deviation surgery and an endoscopy for sleep apnoea. In 57 years I've never met anyone so skilled, so dedicated and so full of energy. My breathing feels like childhood again, and I'm free of the sleep apnoea risk."
"I'm now past the first month after my operation and already have exactly the nose I wanted. Even though it's still slightly swollen, it suits my face beautifully. People can't believe I had surgery — it looks incredibly natural. Everyone at the clinic was attentive and so helpful. I'm very happy."
"Dr. Nuran performed my rhinoplasty. She managed the whole process before and after surgery beautifully and answered every question with patience. My nose now looks both natural and perfectly suited to my face. I'm so glad I chose her, and I recommend her wholeheartedly."
"I met Dr. Nuran through a friend, and the wait for my nose surgery was truly worth it — the result is beyond even my dreams. Most importantly, I never have any trouble breathing. Health matters just as much as aesthetics, and everything turned out perfect. Thank you, Doctor."
"On a friend's recommendation I chose Dr. Nuran Kalekoğlu. I had my surgery 2.5 months ago — I had both a breathing problem and a drooping nose I was unhappy with. I trusted her completely and everything went perfectly. She looks after her patients wonderfully and is always ready to help. Özlem was kind and helpful in every way too."
"Thank you so much to Dr. Nuran and her team. I was very anxious before surgery, but I'm so grateful they showed me there was nothing to fear. Afterwards I had no pain and nothing that disrupted my daily life. It hasn't even been a month, and my nose already looks just the way I wanted. My advice to anxious patients like me: you can trust Dr. Nuran with your eyes closed."
"Endless thanks to Dr. Nuran and her team, who supported me through a very successful rhinoplasty. Their constant support on every matter and the warm, family-like atmosphere made the surgery and recovery so much easier to get through."
"Once again — I'm so glad I met Dr. Nuran and had my nose surgery. I had some reservations beforehand, but it was never as hard as I expected and I got through it without pain. With the right choice of doctor we achieved a wonderful result. So glad I chose you."
"Dr. Nuran is a true expert in her field. She took great care at every stage and left no question unanswered — I only wish I'd come sooner. You can place your trust in her with complete confidence. I absolutely recommend her."
"Dr. Nuran performed my husband's nose surgery a month ago. Between her surgical skill and her warm manner, she made us feel incredibly relaxed and safe. She and her team answered every question and message as quickly as possible, which made us very happy. Thank you again."

A chin implant is a small, body-friendly implant placed over the chin bone to add projection and definition to a weak or recessed chin, improving the balance of the profile.
The implant is usually placed through an incision inside the mouth, leaving no external scar — or through a small, well-hidden incision under the chin.
The implant is designed to be long-lasting and to stay in a stable position. If ever needed, it can be adjusted or removed later.
The implant is sized to your face, so it strengthens the profile subtly — balanced with your nose and jawline rather than over-projected.
Yes. The chin and the nose together shape the profile, so a chin implant is often planned alongside rhinoplasty for a balanced result.
Most people return to daily life within about a week, and swelling settles over the following weeks. If the incision is inside the mouth, soft foods and good oral hygiene are advised early on.
There is no single price — it is personalised to your plan, including whether it is combined with another procedure. The fastest way to an all-inclusive figure is to send a few clear photos for a free assessment.
