Chin Surgery: Tailored for a Slim and Natural V-Line

Hello, I’m Dr. Park Junhyung, the director of The Plan Plastic Surgery, where we focus on enhancing the beauty of each patient with customized treatments. One of the most effective ways to transform the appearance of the face is chin surgery, which can create a beautiful, natural-looking V-line. This procedure is designed to address various chin issues like weak chins, asymmetry, and wide jawlines, making it a popular choice for those looking to improve their facial balance.

What is Chin Surgery?

Chin surgery is a personalized procedure that reshapes the chin area based on individual features. Even a small adjustment can dramatically improve the overall appearance, offering a more harmonious and youthful look. Whether you’re dealing with a recessed chin, protruding chin, or jaw asymmetry, this surgery can create a well-defined, balanced V-line that complements your face.

Key Information About Chin Surgery:

Surgery Time: Around 1 hour

Anesthesia: General anesthesia

Hospital Stay: No hospitalization required

Stitch Removal: 10 days after surgery

Recovery Time: 7 to 10 days

The recovery period is relatively short, and most patients can quickly return to their daily activities. The best part is that even small changes can lead to noticeable improvements, giving you a more refined and balanced facial contour.

Who Can Benefit from Chin Surgery?

Weak Chin: If your chin is recessed or too small, this surgery can bring it forward, creating a more prominent and proportionate facial structure.

Protruding Chin: For those with a jutting chin, this surgery can help bring the chin back into a more natural position.

Asymmetrical Chin: If your chin is uneven or misaligned, the surgery can improve facial symmetry by repositioning or reshaping the chin.

Wide Jaw: Those who feel their jaw is too broad can benefit from narrowing the jawline, enhancing the V-line shape.

For Protruding Chin (Underbite)

Step 1: We reshape the chin bone by removing a wedge-shaped section.

Step 2: After removing the protruding part, the chin is moved back to a more natural position and secured.

Step 3: The bone heals, and the chin no longer appears jutting forward.

For Weak Chin (Receding Chin)

Step 1: We determine how far forward the chin needs to be moved.

Step 2: The chin is advanced, and the bone is fixed into place.

Step 3: In some cases, we may use implants, fillers, or fat grafting to further enhance the chin’s appearance.

For Asymmetrical Chin

Step 1: We carefully assess the angle and position of the chin to identify the areas that need correction.

Step 2: We may remove small bone fragments or reposition the chin to achieve symmetry.

Step 3: The chin is fixed in place using pins to maintain the new alignment.

For a Wide Jaw

Step 1: A T-shaped osteotomy is performed to narrow the jaw by removing the center bone.

Step 2: The jawbones are brought closer together to create a more refined jawline.

Step 3: The jaw is smoothly reshaped, and the chin is secured in a natural, harmonious position.

Quick Recovery: The recovery period is relatively short, and most patients can return to their normal routine within a week or so.
