Medpor Chin Implant

The Place of Medpor Chin Implants in Chin Aesthetics

The chin is one of the most important structures that determine the overall aesthetics and profile balance of the face. A weak or recessed chin can create disproportion in the facial profile; it can negatively affect the aesthetic appearance of the nose, lips, and neck line. Therefore, Medpor chin implants are an effective solution preferred especially to define the jawline and ensure facial balance.

Preoperative Evaluation

Detailed planning is very important for a successful chin implant application. During the initial consultation at the clinic of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery Specialist Dr. Mahmut Ulvi Kayalı in Antalya:

Detailed analysis of the jawline and profile balance is performed.
Facial proportions (nose, lip, chin relationship) are evaluated.
The patient's aesthetic expectations and desired appearance are discussed.
The shape and size of the Medpor implant are determined according to the patient's chin structure.
A personalized surgical plan is prepared with photographs and measurements.

At this stage, the patient is informed about the operation process, recovery period, and possible risks.

What is Medpor Chin Implant?

Medpor is a biocompatible implant produced from porous polyethylene.

Thanks to its porous structure, tissues grow into the implant, fixing it in place.
The risk of slipping, rotating, or displacement is much lower compared to silicone implants.
Since it integrates with natural bone tissue, it is a long-lasting and permanent solution.
The infection risk is quite low and it is well tolerated by the body.

Surgical Technique

Medpor chin implant is placed through a small incision made under the chin.
The implant is placed on the chin bone in the appropriate position.
It can be fixed to the bone with titanium screws to prevent slipping or movement.
Surgery is performed under general anesthesia and takes about 1 hour on average.

Post-Surgery Recovery

Swelling and mild pain may occur in the first days, usually decreasing within a few days.
Most patients can return to social life and work within 5-7 days.
Tissues around the implant adapt over time, the jawline gains a natural appearance.

Advantages of Medpor Chin Implant
