Typical ranges for chin surgery; your surgeon confirms the details at consultation.
What is chin surgery?
Chin surgery (genioplasty or mentoplasty) reshapes the chin by advancing, reducing, narrowing or augmenting it to balance the profile and lower face. At Marble Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, Seoul, a board-certified plastic surgeon selects the method after 3D-CT analysis.
The chin anchors the profile: a small chin makes the nose look larger, and a long or wide chin makes the face look heavy. Options include sliding genioplasty, T-osteotomy to narrow the chin, reduction and implants. The right choice depends on which dimension needs to change.
Who is chin surgery for?
Suitability is decided at a 1:1 consultation with your surgeon.
- A chin that is receding, protruding, long, short or wide
- A profile in which nose, lips and chin are out of balance
- Chin asymmetry
- People considering rhinoplasty who also have a weak chin
How chin surgery is performed at Marble
- Consultation and planning Your surgeon evaluates chin height, width and projection on 3D-CT and recommends bone repositioning, reduction or an implant.
- Anesthesia and monitoring A board-certified anesthesiologist selects the anesthesia with your surgeon, administers it, and monitors you continuously throughout the procedure.
- Reshaping the chin Through an incision inside the lower lip, the chin bone is repositioned, narrowed or reduced and fixed, or an implant is placed in a precise pocket.
