MALE JAW & FACIAL SKELETAL SURGERY · ISTANBUL

THE JAWLINE IS
ARCHITECTURE.NOT AN IMPLANT.

Facial structure built the way it should be: skeleton first. Orthognathic repositioning where the anatomy calls for it, custom implants only where they belong — with occlusion, airway and 20-year stability engineered into every plan.

THE STRUCTURAL APPROACH SEE THE PLANNING

BY PROF. DR. SELÇUK BASA · 40+ YEARS · ORAL & MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY

THE STRUCTURAL APPROACH

Most "jawline surgery" starts with an implant.
Ours starts with your skeleton.

A masculine jawline that photographs well but chews badly, breathes worse and fails in ten years is not a result — it is a complication on a delay timer. Structure comes first. Always.
01 — POSITIONSkeleton before surface

If the mandible or maxilla sits in the wrong position, no implant can fix it — it can only hide it. Orthognathic surgery moves the foundation itself: projection, width, definition and facial thirds are corrected at bone level.

02 — FUNCTIONOcclusion & airway, non-negotiable

Your bite and your breathing are engineered into the plan, not sacrificed to it. Jaw advancement done correctly can enlarge the airway — the same surgery used to treat obstructive sleep apnea.

03 — PRECISIONCustom, when custom is right

Patient-specific implants (PSI), designed on your own CT — to refine the result, never to replace the correction.

JAWLINE SCIENCE

What actually defines a masculine lower face

Forums argue about it in ratios and angles. Surgery answers it in millimetres of bone. These are the structural variables we measure and control:

Sagittal projection

How far the chin and mandible project relative to the upper face — the primary driver of a "weak" or "strong" profile.

Gonial angle & ramus height

The angle behind the jaw and the height of the ramus — together they draw the jawline you see from the side.

Bigonial width

Lower-face width viewed from the front — the frontal counterpart of jawline definition.

Occlusal plane & bite

Rotating or repositioning the jaws changes the entire lower-face geometry — done correctly it improves the bite; done carelessly it destroys it.

Airway volume

Maxillomandibular position directly changes pharyngeal airway space. Structural jaw surgery is also airway surgery — a functional benefit no implant can offer.

Soft-tissue response & ageing

Bone support is what holds soft tissue up for decades — the variable that decides how a result looks at 50, not just at 30.

DIGITAL SURGICAL PLANNING · AI

Your surgery happens twice. First in software.

Every case is modelled in three dimensions with AI-assisted planning software developed by Prof. Basa himself — one of the pioneering names of digital surgical planning. The osteotomies, movements and implant geometry are decided to the millimetre before the operating room.

  • 3D cephalometric analysis of your CT — position, angles, symmetry, airway
  • Virtual osteotomy & movement simulation — you see the skeletal plan, not an artist's sketch
  • PSI design on your exact anatomy when augmentation is indicated
  • Invited lecturer on AI-assisted 3D planning — EACMFS webinar & EACMFS 2026 Congress (Athens)

CUSTOM IMPLANTS (PSI)

Custom implants are a scalpel, not a costume.

On the right foundation, PSI is a precision tool: measured dimensions, bite untouched. Oversized and misplaced, the same technology produces the industry's cautionary tales.

PSI — JAWLINEGonial angle & jaw border

Sharper gonial definition and a continuous jaw border — milled to your CT anatomy, fixed to bone.

PSI — WIDTHBigonial width

Controlled lateral augmentation where frontal width is deficient — in millimetres decided by planning, not by trend.

PSI — CHINChin projection & shape

When only contour is missing, a custom implant — or genioplasty — completes projection and shape.

WHAT WE DO

  • PSI designed on your own CT, in proportion to your midface and soft tissue
  • Skeletal repositioning first when position — not volume — is the problem
  • Fixation planned around nerves, roots and sinus anatomy
  • Results measured against function: bite, breathing, sensation, longevity

WHAT WE DON'T

  • "Maximum projection" implants on an untreated skeletal problem
  • Trend-driven geometry that ignores your anatomy and ages badly
  • Operating on every request — candidacy is a medical decision
  • Hiding outcomes — realistic expectations are set before, not after

ETHICS & CANDIDACY

The most important surgical skill is knowing when not to operate.

INTERNATIONAL PATIENTS

How it works from abroad

  1. Remote reviewSend your CT/records and photos through the consultation line. Initial structural assessment and candidacy opinion.
  2. Plan & simulation3D planning of your case; video consultation to walk through the skeletal plan, options and realistic outcomes.
  3. Surgery in IstanbulOperation at a full-service hospital setting; clinic follow-up at Genia Klinik, Nişantaşı. Orthodontic coordination when required.
  4. Structured follow-upIn-person controls before you fly home; remote follow-up protocol at defined intervals thereafter.
