What Is a Retruded Chin? Chin Implant Surgery for Chin Correction at Apgujeong Seoul Plastic Surgery

Hello, this is Chief Director Choi Junghyuk from Apgujeong Seoul Plastic Surgery.

During summer vacation and school break season, many people looking for a definite change with a short recovery period and a reasonable price are seeking Apgujeong Seoul Plastic Surgery’s retruded chin chin implant surgery.

So today, we will look at what a retruded chin is, well-known celebrities with a retruded chin and their features, and Apgujeong Seoul Plastic Surgery’s surgery for correcting a retruded chin.

What Is a Retruded Chin?

A retruded chin is a condition in which the lower jawbone is small or set back, so the front of the chin does not project enough, which can create the impression of a blurry jawline and a protruding mouth.

Retruded chin cases are classified into cases where only the chin is small and cases where the entire lower jaw is small.

When only the chin is small, the overall size of the lower jawbone and the dental occlusion are normal, and only the chin itself is small.

On the other hand, when the entire lower jawbone is small, this is called mandibular hypoplasia, and because the entire lower jaw is small and recessed, the teeth do not align properly.

Mandibular hypoplasia may see some improvement in symptoms through the chin implant retruded chin correction surgery introduced today, but as a practical treatment method, we recommend double jaw surgery.

Celebrities with a Retruded Chin

Celebrities with a retruded chin that patients visiting Apgujeong Seoul Plastic Surgery often know well include:

Park Myung-soo

Yang Se-chan

Hong Hyun-hee

Ahn So-hee

Gong Yoo

are representative examples.

A retruded chin can make the jawline look less distinct, but it can also create a baby-like, cute, and kind impression, and can give the image of a celebrity with a retruded chin and a youthful appearance.

How to Correct a Retruded Chin

There are three ways to correct a retruded chin.

• Chin filler

Because filler is the easiest to access and has a short recovery period, many people try it first before undergoing a full chin or retruded chin surgery.

However, in the case of filler, it does not increase the size of the chin bone itself; instead, a gel-type filler is inserted into the chin tissue, so it can sag under gravity and become a witch chin.

2. Chin advancement surgery

Chin advancement surgery is a retruded chin correction surgery in which the bone at the tip of the lower jaw is cut and moved forward to correct the jawline.

It is a very effective surgery for patients with a long retruded chin, but many patients say it is not easy to decide on surgery because of the burden of general anesthesia, cost, large surgical scope, and long recovery period.

3. Chin implant surgery for a retruded chin

The retruded chin implant surgery and chin implant surgery performed at Apgujeong Seoul Plastic Surgery use artificial silicone implants inserted into the chin tip to correct a short or recessed chin, move the jawline forward, and add dimension to the face.

Unless the implant is removed, the effect is permanent, and because the surgery time and recovery period are short and the cost is less burdensome than chin advancement surgery, it is a procedure frequently chosen by patients who come to Apgujeong Seoul Plastic Surgery for retruded chin correction consultations.

Apgujeong Seoul Plastic Surgery chin implant retruded chin correction case

This patient also had a retruded chin with a small and recessed chin.

The patient did not want a major surgery involving bone cutting, like chin advancement surgery, so before the chin implant retruded chin correction surgery, they had been receiving chin fillers consistently.

However, the filler in the chin sagged, and because getting it done regularly was also a financial burden, they visited Apgujeong Seoul Plastic Surgery.

One month after chin implant retruded chin correction surgery

Before surgery, because of the recessed jawbone, the protruding mouth appeared more pronounced and the double chin was emphasized,

after surgery, you can see that the chin has moved forward, and the protruding mouth and double chin have also improved.

So far, together with Apgujeong Seoul Plastic Surgery, we have looked at what a retruded chin is, how to correct a retruded chin, celebrities with a retruded chin, and Apgujeong Seoul Plastic Surgery’s chin implant retruded chin correction surgery.
