Chin Correction in Berlin with Prof. Dr. Sinis
A well-proportioned chin is essential for a harmonious facial profile. It contributes significantly to the definition of the lower half of the face and influences how balanced the entire face is perceived. Deviations in the shape, size or position of the chin can not only be perceived as aesthetically disturbing, but can also have a negative effect on self-esteem. Many people report that in photos they always try to bring their head into a certain position in order to conceal the chin – a daily companion in everyday life and when looking in the mirror. At the Sinis Clinic Berlin, patients wishing for a chin correction have several individually adaptable treatment options open to them – surgical or minimally invasive. Prof. Dr. med. Sinis and his experienced team address the anatomical conditions, personal wishes and aesthetic goals in a targeted way in order to achieve a coherent, natural-looking result.
The Chin Correction:
At a Glance
Length of the stay
at the clinic
The length of stay depends on the extent of the procedure. Smaller procedures such as filler injections with hyaluronic acid are carried out on an outpatient basis, so that patients can leave the clinic on the same day after a short rest phase. For surgical chin corrections, such as genioplasty or the insertion of an implant, a stay of 1 to 2 days is usually planned. This serves for optimal monitoring in the early phase of wound healing. During this time, swelling is observed, dressings are changed and safe pain medication is ensured. Anyone aiming for a particularly quick return to everyday life benefits from early planning and clear postoperative instructions from the clinic team.
Anaesthesia
The choice of anaesthesia is coordinated individually with the patient. Smaller procedures can be carried out under local anaesthesia, while larger surgical procedures such as chin repositioning usually take place under general anaesthesia. Alternatively, twilight sedation is also possible, which is often used for sensitive patients who prefer a gentle but safe method. The anaesthesia is always carried out by experienced specialists in anaesthesiology who are specialised in the particularities of plastic-aesthetic procedures.
Aftercare
Careful aftercare is a central component for an optimal result. Directly after the procedure, the treated area is cooled in order to reduce swelling. Painkillers ensure a pleasant healing phase. In the first week, sport, hot baths and pressure on the region should be avoided. Depending on the type of procedure, wearing an elastic bandage may be recommended. The sutures are usually removed after 7 to 10 days, provided no self-dissolving materials were used. Regular medical check-ups ensure that healing proceeds optimally and no complications occur.
Presentability
Presentability depends strongly on the chosen method. With filler injections of hyaluronic acid or own fat, you are usually fit again the next day. Small reddenings or swellings can be covered well with make-up. After surgical procedures, stronger swelling, slight haematomas or feelings of tension can occur – here you should plan for 10 to 14 days of downtime. A cool environment, an upright sleeping position and abstaining from alcohol and nicotine additionally support the healing process.
Pain
Most patients experience only mild to moderate pain, which can be controlled well with common painkillers. Directly after the operation, a feeling of tension in the chin area can occur, especially if an implant was inserted or bone was repositioned. However, this sensation subsides significantly after a few days. With minimally invasive procedures, hardly any pain occurs, at most a slight feeling of pressure or temporary sensitivity in the treated area. The clinic can be reached at any time should unusual complaints occur.
Durability
The durability of the chin correction depends strongly on the chosen method. Surgical procedures such as implants or bony repositioning are permanent, as they change the anatomical structure in the long term. With hyaluronic acid injections, a durability of about 12 to 18 months can be expected, as the body gradually breaks down the substance. Own-fat treatments show a longer effect with a good degree of healing, in part also permanent – depending on how much of the transplanted fat stabilises. Anyone who wants a long-lasting solution should raise this already in the initial consultation.
Costs
The costs vary depending on the type of chin correction. Surgical measures such as genioplasty or the insertion of an implant usually range between €3,500 and €6,500. These costs usually include anaesthesia, aftercare and all materials. Minimally invasive methods such as hyaluronic acid injections start at about €400. Since these are aesthetic procedures, the costs are generally not covered by the health insurance. The Sinis Clinic Berlin, however, offers transparent advice, fair package prices and – if required – financing options.
When is a chin correction sensible?
A chin correction can be sensible for aesthetic or functional reasons. Often it is about harmonising the facial proportions – especially when the chin is perceived as too small, too large, too long or asymmetrical. Even with a receding chin, which is barely visible in the side view and makes the profile appear rather "soft", a targeted correction can achieve a great deal. Likewise, a very prominent or protruding chin can be perceived as disturbing – especially in women who wish for softer contours. But it is not only the outer effect that plays a role: an unbalanced chin can disturb the entire facial image and impair self-confidence. Some patients report that they perceive themselves unfavourably in photos or in conversations – often triggered by a chin that is not in harmony with the rest of the facial features. The chin line in the lower third of the face also plays a decisive role for the overall expression – here a correction can usually achieve a clear improvement with just small measures. In some cases, a chin correction can also be medically motivated – for example in the case of a malocclusion, an asymmetry caused by an accident or when the lips do not close correctly. In such cases, the aesthetic treatment is usually combined with functional measures in order to achieve a long-term stable result.
What goal is pursued in a chin correction?
The main goal of a chin correction is the aesthetic harmonisation of the facial proportions. A balanced chin contributes significantly to a symmetrical, clearly defined profile. At the same time, the procedure aims to increase personal well-being – because those who feel comfortable with their facial shape usually also appear more self-confident. This is not about standardised ideals of beauty, but about optimally supporting the individual appearance.
Testimonials
Many patients report a significant boost in self-confidence after their chin correction. Particularly often it is emphasised that the face appears more harmonious thanks to the new chin and the profile seems more coherent. The decision in favour of a chin correction – whether surgical or minimally invasive – was often considered for a long time, but in retrospect feels like a "liberation". Some patients who previously had a receding chin describe their new facial shape as more expressive and clearer. The short downtimes with minimally invasive procedures and the high level of expertise of the treatment team at the Sinis Clinic Berlin are also frequently praised. In most cases, the results are described as "natural", "subtle" and "exactly as desired" – a central quality feature of the clinic.
Types of chin correction at the Sinis Clinic Berlin
At the Sinis Clinic Berlin, various methods of chin correction are available in order to optimally take into account both anatomical conditions and personal ideas. Depending on the findings and the desired result, you can choose between surgical and minimally invasive procedures. With all techniques, the focus is on a natural result – the facial features should appear harmonious and the individual profile should be emphasised. In a personal consultation, the appropriate method is explained in detail and tailored to the needs of the patient.
Surgical methods of chin correction
Surgical chin corrections are used above all when a fundamental change of the chin structure is desired or required. These procedures are usually carried out under general anaesthesia and offer permanent, precise results. The established surgical procedures include chin augmentation with implants as well as chin reduction through targeted bone removal. These methods are carried out at the Sinis Clinic with the utmost care and under the highest medical standards. Especially in the case of a strongly receding or overly prominent chin, surgical procedures create a stable and aesthetically convincing solution.
A receding or too-small chin can throw the entire facial aesthetics off balance. With an individually adapted silicone implant, the chin area can be modelled permanently and precisely. The procedure is usually carried out via a small incision inside the mouth or under the chin, whereby visible scars are avoided. The implants are biocompatible and durable. Even shortly after the procedure, a clear improvement of the jawline and profile is apparent. Patients benefit from a clearer contour and a distinct enhancement of their face – entirely without an artificial-looking effect.
In the case of an overly prominent or protruding chin, a chin reduction through bone removal can be sensible. Here, part of the chin bone is carefully removed in order to harmonise the facial proportions. The surgical access is usually intraoral, i.e. via the oral mucosa, so that no external scars develop. After the procedure, the chin line appears softer and more balanced. Precise planning in advance – including 3D visualisation – helps to implement the desired result exactly. The procedure is carried out under general anaesthesia, the downtime is usually 1–2 weeks.
Minimally invasive methods of chin correction
Not every chin correction has to be carried out surgically. In many cases, astonishingly natural results can be achieved with modern minimally invasive methods such as hyaluronic acid or own fat. These procedures are particularly suitable for patients who want a gentle change or who initially want to feel their way towards a new facial shape. The treatment is possible on an outpatient basis, requires no anaesthesia and involves only minimal downtime. At the Sinis Clinic, such procedures are always carried out under medical supervision and with the highest quality standards.
A very popular method for subtle chin correction is the injection of hyaluronic acid. The chin is modelled in a targeted way and can be visually lengthened, raised or emphasised. The treatment usually takes only 20–30 minutes and shows immediately visible results. Since hyaluronic acid is a natural component of the body, it is generally well tolerated. The effect lasts about 9–15 months, depending on metabolism and product. Many patients also use this method in order to first get an impression of the possible result before a permanent surgical solution.
Anyone who wants to build up volume in the chin area in a natural way can decide on an own-fat treatment. Here, the body's own fat – usually from the abdomen or thigh area – is harvested, processed and injected into the chin region. The great advantage: no foreign bodies, no allergic reactions and often a very natural feel. In addition, the method is effective in the long term, as part of the injected fat heals in permanently. The Sinis Clinic Berlin offers this method as a gentle alternative for all those seeking a sustainable but non-surgical solution.
What further options for chin correction are there?
In addition to classic surgical and minimally invasive procedures, modern aesthetic medicine offers further methods for optimising the chin. One option is the combination of treatments, for example with a thread lift to tighten the chin line or a neck lift to contour the profile even more clearly. The use of botulinum toxin (Botox) can also have a supporting effect – for example in the case of an overactive chin muscle that creates small dimples or an uneven surface. In certain cases, a dental or jaw adjustment can also improve the appearance of the chin without working directly on the chin itself. This holistic view is part of the philosophy of the Sinis Clinic Berlin: not every solution lies in an isolated procedure, but in the harmonious overall effect of the face.
An unharmonious chin profile can also arise from a so-called malocclusion situation. If the upper and lower jaw are not optimally aligned with one another – for example in the case of an overbite or underbite – the chin appears either too far set back or excessively prominent. In such cases, a pure chin correction is often not sufficient. Instead, an orthodontic or jaw-surgical malocclusion correction becomes necessary. At the Sinis Clinic Berlin, the assessment is always interdisciplinary: specialists in plastic facial surgery work closely with orthodontists and specialists in oral and maxillofacial surgery. The aim is a holistic solution that is convincing both functionally and aesthetically.
For everyone who wishes for a chin optimisation without a surgical procedure, aesthetic medicine today offers several non-surgical alternatives. Particularly in demand is the hyaluronic acid treatment, with which the chin can be modelled precisely and gently raised. An own-fat treatment or the targeted use of thread lifts is also an option. These procedures are minimally invasive, require no anaesthesia and involve short downtimes. However, it must be noted that the results – especially with hyaluronic acid – are not permanent and should be refreshed at regular intervals. For many patients, these methods nevertheless represent an attractive option for making initial changes or "trying out" a possible surgical result in advance.
Treatment process of the chin correction in Berlin at Sinis Aesthetics
The treatment process for a chin correction at the Sinis Clinic Berlin always begins with a detailed consultation. In this first appointment, the specialist analyses the individual facial structure, addresses personal wishes and clarifies realistic treatment goals. With the help of before-and-after examples or a 3D simulation, the possible result can be visualised. Depending on the chosen method, the procedure is carried out on an outpatient or inpatient basis, under local anaesthesia or general anaesthesia. On the day of treatment itself, the chin is reached, depending on the procedure, through a small incision in the mouth or below the chin. With minimally invasive methods, the injection is carried out via fine cannulas. After the procedure, the patient receives precise aftercare instructions. Depending on the method, you are presentable again after just a few days. In the weeks afterwards, regular check-up appointments are attended in order to secure the result and readjust if necessary. The Sinis Clinic places particular value on an individual, empathetic and medically sound approach – always with the aim of emphasising the natural radiance of the patient and integrating the result harmoniously into the overall picture.
Before the procedure, a detailed consultation takes place at the Sinis Clinic. Personal wishes, the individual facial profile and the best treatment options are discussed. Possible risks and the process are also explained transparently. This way, patients know exactly what to expect and can make an informed decision.
On the day of the chin correction, you are personally welcomed at the Sinis Clinic. The procedure itself usually takes place under local anaesthesia with twilight sedation or general anaesthesia – depending on the procedure and individual wish. In a surgical chin augmentation, a small incision is usually made inside the mouth or under the chin in order to insert the implant or model bone tissue. The minimally invasive methods such as a hyaluronic acid treatment or own-fat injection are carried out on an outpatient basis and usually take no longer than 30–60 minutes. After the procedure, you are monitored briefly before being discharged home – except in the case of general anaesthesia, where one night as an inpatient may be necessary.
Directly after the procedure, it is important to spare the treated area and to speak or chew as little as possible – especially in the first 24–48 hours. Cooling measures help to reduce swelling and bruising. Sport, sun and alcohol should be avoided in the first two weeks. Depending on the technique, the sutures are either self-dissolving or removed after 7–10 days. With minimally invasive methods, you are usually presentable again after just a few days. Our team gives you all the important behavioural tips to take home – individually adapted to your treatment.
Chin correction before/after
A chin correction can harmonise the entire facial profile. This is particularly impressive in patients who previously suffered from a receding or overly pronounced chin. The "before/after" differences are often subtle but effective: the face appears more contoured, the jawline clearer, the profile more balanced. Depending on the method, the results are visible immediately or after a few weeks – especially with minimally invasive treatments with hyaluronic acid or own fat. What is always important here is a natural result that emphasises your personal radiance.
After the correction, patients often report that they feel more comfortable in photos again, appear more self-confident and can finally identify with their profile. On request, the Sinis Clinic shows discreet before-and-after examples from its own archive, so that you get a realistic picture of what is possible – entirely without exaggerated promises. The goal: not a "made face", but a harmonious, coherent overall picture.
Many patients report a clear improvement of their profile and their radiance after a chin correction. The face appears more harmonious, the contours clearer – especially in the side profile. Some say that they recognise themselves in photos for the first time and feel in harmony with their outer appearance. The newly gained self-confidence is also a frequently mentioned positive effect. The results speak for themselves – and usually last for many years.
The durability depends on the chosen method. A surgical chin correction – for example with implants or bone removal – is permanent. The change once achieved usually remains for life. With minimally invasive methods such as hyaluronic acid, on the other hand, these are temporary solutions. Here the result usually lasts 12 to 18 months, depending on the individual metabolism. Afterwards, the treatment can be repeated without difficulty in order to refresh the result.

Risks of chin correction in Berlin
As with every medical procedure, there are also certain risks with a chin correction. At the Sinis Clinic, however, these are reduced to a minimum through the most modern surgical techniques and an experienced team of specialists.
Risks of chin correction
Possible risks include temporary swelling, bruising or feelings of numbness in the chin area. In rare cases, infections or a displacement of the implant can occur. Scar formation should also be viewed realistically – with good prerequisites, however, they usually heal inconspicuously. With minimally invasive methods, the risks are significantly lower, usually limited to slight swelling or temporary asymmetries. Individual information from the treating doctor is essential in any case in order to know all eventualities.
Costs of chin correction at Sinis Aesthetics Berlin
The costs for a chin correction depend on the chosen method, the extent of the procedure as well as the individual treatment plan. At the Sinis Clinic Berlin, we place great value on transparency: after a detailed consultation, you receive a clearly understandable cost estimate that includes all services. Whether minimally invasive or surgical – you know in advance exactly what investment awaits you and which options are open to you.
The first consultation at the Sinis Clinic is an important step on the way to your desired treatment. Here, Prof. Dr. Sinis analyses your facial structure, your wishes and the medical background together with you. A flat fee applies for this detailed initial consultation, which can be partially credited towards the treatment costs in the event of booking an operation. This way you benefit twice: from sound advice and a fair cost structure.
The costs of a chin correction range – depending on the method – between €1,000 for minimally invasive procedures and €5,000 or more for surgical procedures.
The so-called chin advancement – also called genioplasty – is a surgical procedure in which the chin bone is precisely repositioned. This method is particularly effective in the case of a receding chin and delivers permanent results. The costs for this procedure usually range between €4,500 and €7,000, depending on the effort, type of anaesthesia and inpatient stay. You receive a precise calculation in the personal consultation – individually tailored to your situation.
In most cases, a chin correction is an aesthetic procedure, the costs of which are to be borne privately. Coverage by the statutory health insurance is only possible if medical reasons exist – for example in the case of severe malocclusions, breathing problems or functional impairments. Whether this is the case for you is carefully examined in the consultation. On request, we also support you in submitting the relevant documents.
Sinis Aesthetics offers you fair and flexible financing models, so that your desired treatment does not fail because of the costs. Together with our partner for medical financing, you can conveniently pay the total amount in monthly instalments – on transparent conditions and with an individual term. Whether one-off payment or instalment model: we find the right solution for you. Simply ask us about it in the consultation.
