Why You Should Thoroughly Research Chin Surgery Before Having It

Hello, this is AB Plastic Surgery Clinic.

As interest in appearance has increased

and the preference for a smaller face has grown,

demand for facial contouring surgery has been rising.

Among the people who come to our clinic, many ask about chin surgery during consultations.

So, we at AB Plastic Surgery Clinic will explain in detail

what kinds of chin surgery cases there are

and what points need to be considered.

The chin, located at the lowest part of the face,

can change the shape of the face depending on its length, shape, and width,

and even determine a person’s impression.

So, when the chin is short or recessed,

the impression may look stubborn,

and a long, broad chin shape can make the impression look harsh,

which may come across as sharp.

Chin surgery cases?

In the case of a broad chin, T-osteotomy or S-osteotomy

removes the central bone segment to reduce the width of the front chin,

which can improve chin asymmetry and create a slimmer, more refined look.

In the case of a recessed chin, a procedure that advances the chin forward

can add dimension to the chin and improve it into a V-line,

while also reducing the appearance of a protruding mouth.

In the case of a long chin, a horizontal osteotomy removes the central bone

to reduce the length of the front chin,

which is a surgical method that can improve a protruding lower face

without orthodontic treatment or double-jaw surgery.

In the case of a short chin, a surgical method that narrows the wide area

and moves it downward to correct the short chin

can improve the impression of a face that looks wide from the side.

As such, since chin surgery methods differ for each person,

you should choose a clinic with a surgical method suited to you

and extensive experience and expertise.

At AB, we use 3D-CT and X-ray

to precisely diagnose not only the facial bones

but also the muscle structure and fat distribution that cannot be seen from the outside,

and plan the surgery accordingly.
