Hello, this is Apgujeong Seoul Plastic Surgery.

Today, we’re going to do a Q&A with Director Choi Jong-hyeok about receding chin implant surgery, a way to look better in a minimal amount of time~

Q: Director! What is a receding chin?

A: A receding chin refers to a small chin that is set back.

Q: What are the main methods for correcting a receding chin?

A: There are three ways to correct a receding chin.

  1. Filler

  2. Receding chin implant surgery

  3. Genioplasty

These are the three main methods.

Q: Can filler be used instead of receding chin surgery?

A: You can get filler, but there are some pros and cons.

The advantage of filler is that it is a simple procedure because you only need to receive the injection.

However, in the case of a naturally receding chin, the jawbone itself is small, so the jawbone needs to be made larger.

Filler does not make the jawbone larger; it only adds thickness to the tissue.

Because of that, the shape may not turn out as beautifully, it may look bulky, or over time it may spread out or sag downward.

Q: If someone has a receding chin, who can benefit from receding chin implant surgery?

A: It can be very effective for double chin and protruding mouth cases.

In cases of a receding chin, the chin is small, so it often looks like a double chin.

For these patients, receding chin implant surgery alone can improve the appearance to some extent, but if there is a bit more fat,

combining it with double chin liposuction can be even more effective.

In the case of a protruding mouth, the chin can appear relatively small.

Undergoing receding chin implant surgery to complement a protruding mouth is also a good option.

Q: If you have receding chin implant surgery, is chewing very uncomfortable?

[Apgujeong Receding Chin Surgery] Q&A on Receding Chin Implant Surgery with Director Choi Jong-hyeok image 7

A: The act of chewing itself is not a problem at all.

However, immediately after receding chin implant surgery, there may be some swelling, and because an implant has been inserted,

the skin may feel slightly tight or there may be a foreign-body sensation only at the beginning.

There are no restrictions on eating or brushing your teeth.

Receding chin implant surgery is one of the simpler surgeries,

and it tends to produce good results relative to the time and effort patients invest.
