Receding Chin Correction (Genioplasty)

This is a chin surgery that creates a balanced profile by moving a short, small, or recessed chin (weak chin) forward after osteotomy, or by lengthening it with autologous bone. The length and position are adjusted with consideration for not only the chin shape but also the overall facial balance.

Recommended for these individuals

· Those whose facial proportions appear awkward due to a short chin · Those with a small, recessed chin (weak chin) · Those who want a more defined jawline in profile

What we should focus on is not the bone, but the face shape. The key to VIEW chin surgery is creating a naturally beautiful facial contour line by considering not only the shape of the chin but also the balance of the entire face. Customized procedures, from lengthening to reduction, are performed according to the type, including long, short, blunt, or asymmetrical chins.

Surgical Methods by Chin Type

CASE 3. Short Chin

After a T-shaped osteotomy, the central bone is removed to bring the chin together, and lengthening with autologous bone is performed simultaneously to balance the length and shape of the chin.

CASE 4. Small, Recessed Chin (Weak Chin)

The chin is horizontally osteotomized, and the recessed chin bone is moved forward to lengthen it. It is then securely fixed, and the chin line is naturally refined.

The angle and line are designed according to each individual's chin shape and concerns, and an appropriate surgical method and customized plan are used to create a slim jawline from every angle.

Precision 3D-CT and X-RAY Analysis

High-resolution 3D-CT and X-RAY are used to precisely analyze facial characteristics, the shape and size of the bones, the location of nerve pathways, and the characteristics of muscle and fat tissue, allowing for careful surgical planning. Without unnecessary resection, reduction is performed only as needed within a safe range while considering the original facial proportions.
