Genioplasty | Balanced Proportions Through Small Chin Correction

The standards of beauty seem to change as time goes by.

A few years ago, people tended to prefer glamorous, well-defined facial features, whereas these days, more and more people seem to be interested in balanced features and a smooth facial line that highlight each person’s individuality based on a natural look.

For this reason, many people consider various procedures in order to improve their face line into something harmonious and balanced.

So, what is the most important part of the face line?

Usually, the chin line comes to mind. This is because the overall facial proportions and balance can change depending on the shape of the chin tip and the form of the chin. There can be various procedures that help improve the chin tip line, and because the appropriate method differs depending on each person’s chin shape, sufficient consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon is important.

People’s chin shapes vary, including square chin, underbite chin, short chin, and small chin. If the chin tip is small and short, genioplasty may be recommended. Genioplasty is a method often preferred when the chin tip is short and blunt, and people who are concerned that the lack of volume and length at the chin tip makes their overall facial balance look unharmonious may feel more satisfied after genioplasty.

Genioplasty creates a natural chin line by inserting an implant into the chin tip. At the Gangnam Station genioplasty clinic, Gore-Tex implants are preferred. Because of the characteristics of Gore-Tex, it is easy to customize and shape the implant, allowing the creation of a personalized implant for each patient and therefore supporting a more natural result and a genioplasty outcome tailored to the patient’s needs.

Usually, a small chin or short chin is commonly referred to as a receding chin. A receding chin can refer to a case in which the lower jaw is positioned inward compared with the upper jaw.

Depending on the volume, length, and position of the lower jaw, the upper jaw may appear relatively protruded, making it look like a protruding mouth, and depending on the degree of chin volume and length, the boundary between the chin and the neck may become unclear, making the face appear dull.

Above all, in social settings where image is important, a receding chin can give a somewhat angry or sulky impression, which may leave a poor image, so improvement through genioplasty may be necessary for a change in overall impression.

At the Gangnam Station genioplasty clinic, genioplasty is performed through a minimal incision inside the mouth. Through careful and professional consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon who has extensive experience and know-how in genioplasty, a customized 1:1 design and plan is applied to help increase satisfaction with the genioplasty results.

In addition, continuous communication and various recovery management systems are applied to help patients recover quickly.

Many people want to improve a small chin or short chin, but if they are not familiar with the procedure, they may feel burdened because they think the bone must be cut. Genioplasty improves a receding chin such as a small chin or short chin by inserting an implant through a minimal incision inside the mouth, and the short procedure time helps create a more harmonious and balanced overall facial line.

Rather than bone cutting, it relatively simply improves the chin line, allowing you to expect a changed chin tip line.
