[BT Plastic Surgery] Chin Tip Filler vs. Facial Contouring Surgery Trio: Smart Decision Criteria & Reviews

Hello, this is BT Plastic Surgery. 😊

A slender, refined V-line is the dream of many people!

A 대표적인 surgery for completing the V-line,

is the 3-type contouring surgery (zygoma reduction, square jaw reduction, and chin surgery).

Today, through the case of a patient who underwent 3-type contouring surgery at our clinic,

we would like to talk honestly about the points that must be checked before surgery and about “chin tip filler.”

What is chin tip filler?

Before contouring surgery, there are surprisingly many people who receive filler treatment in the chin tip.

This is because, without the burden of surgery, it can improve a recessed chin by adding volume to the chin tip in a short time,

and can create a more slender V-line effect.

Advantages of chin tip filler

• Non-surgical

: It can be performed with injections only, without incisions, so the burden is low.

• Immediate effect

: You can see the volume improvement effect right after the procedure.

• Short recovery period

: You can return to daily life immediately without a separate recovery period.

• Reversibility

: In the case of hyaluronic acid filler, it can be dissolved and removed when you no longer want it.

Disadvantages of chin tip filler

However, filler is not permanent and cannot solve the fundamental problem of the bone.

In particular, if you are planning bone surgery such as 3-type contouring surgery, the filler must be removed before surgery.

The patient above also decided to undergo contouring surgery,

and after completely dissolving the chin tip filler at our clinic, proceeded with surgery.

Along with the limitations of filler procedures, let’s look at the disadvantages of chin tip filler that many people can relate to.

1. Limited duration of effect

: After a certain period of time, the filler is absorbed by the body and a repeat procedure is needed,

which adds to the cost burden.

2. Shape distortion and spreading

: Depending on the type of filler, the depth of injection, and an individual’s activity,

the chin tip shape may become blunt or spread sideways, making the chin look wider.

3. Possibility of skin sagging due to weight

: Due to the combined effects of the weight of the filler injected into the chin tip, gravity, and reduced skin elasticity,

there is a possibility of a side effect where the skin around the chin tip appears to sag downward (the “witch’s chin” phenomenon).

Even after dissolving the filler, some degree of sagging may still be felt,

so when performing 3-type contouring surgery, it is necessary to consider a lifting effect together with the process of shaping and fixing the chin bone.

4. Interference with surgical planning

: When performing contouring surgery, any previously injected filler must not remain in order to accurately design and remove bone.

Because residual filler can make it difficult to secure the surgical field or increase the risk of inflammation,

filler removal must be performed before surgery.

After removing the filler, the patient underwent surgery based on precise 3D CT analysis,

designing the zygoma, square jaw, and chin bones in ideal proportions.

• Zygoma reduction

: The protruding cheekbones were reduced to narrow the width of the face and enhance facial definition.

• Square jaw reduction

: The overly developed angle of the jaw near the ear and the cortical bone were refined together to create a slender line from both the front and side.

• Chin surgery

: The length, position, and shape of the chin were adjusted to match the patient’s overall facial proportions,

and the chin muscles and soft tissue were delicately treated while also considering sagging caused by the filler.

→ Beyond the limitations of filler, it was possible to create a permanent and dramatic V-line by changing the fundamental bone structure.
