Check the Differences by Angle in Chin Augmentation Surgery

A recessed chin refers, literally, to a chin that is short and lacking in volume.

A chin that sits further back than the upper jaw is also considered a recessed chin, and when the chin is short and its contours are unclear, the overall facial balance may not look harmonious. Even with glamorous, defined features, a recessed chin can make the face appear somewhat flat.

For those concerned about a recessed chin, chin augmentation surgery is one recommended option. By inserting an implant in the chin area, this surgery adds the missing length and volume, helping the overall facial balance look harmonious. It also improves the mouth line, which can otherwise appear more protrusive due to a lack of lower-chin volume, and aims for a harmonious balance and a natural facial proportion effect.

For chin correction, some people also consider a relatively simple filler procedure. At our clinic, chin implant surgery is performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon with specialized experience in chin implants. The procedure takes about 30 minutes, is performed through an incision inside the mouth, and is characterized by minimal bruising and swelling, allowing for a fast recovery.

In addition, continuous communication, swelling laser treatment, and a variety of recovery care systems can be applied to help patients recover.

Because recovery is quick and returning to daily life is fast, chin augmentation surgery can be performed with little burden even in a busy daily routine, while helping maintain a naturally refined chin contour effect for a semi-permanent period.

At places known for doing chin augmentation surgery well, you can find various before-and-after reviews by case. The reason lies in the chin implant itself. The chin implants used at places known for chin augmentation surgery are custom-made for each patient.

For custom implants, Gore-Tex implants, which are easy to sculpt, are preferred. Based on sufficient consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in chin augmentation surgery, the patient’s current chin condition, skin, and needs are comprehensively considered, and a one-to-one custom implant is made with a procedure design and implant design tailored accordingly. Because it does not need to be fixed with screws, it settles naturally in the patient’s chin, so there is no need to worry about implant movement, and a natural chin effect can be expected.

A characteristic of Gore-Tex implants is that they become fixed through adhesion with surrounding tissue, so they do not move easily. If removal of the implant is desired, it can also be removed relatively simply by experienced medical staff with extensive know-how in chin augmentation surgery, which reduces concerns about adhesion.

Through the easy sculptability, a major feature of Gore-Tex, the implant can be made to match the design the patient wants, further increasing satisfaction.

Although the chin lacks length and volume, some people may still consider chin augmentation surgery because of the overall length of their face. At places known for doing chin augmentation surgery well, an appropriate design and surgical plan are applied to each individual patient, so that a long face can appear shorter and a short face can appear longer, helping complete a balanced facial line. More detailed consultation on this can be provided during an in-person visit through consultation and diagnosis with a board-certified plastic surgeon.

Rather than thinking of chin augmentation surgery as something that requires shaving bone, we hope you will improve your concerns about a recessed chin through a relatively easy and quick process, with a natural chin improvement that does not look artificial.
