Overview

What is chin augmentation?

Chin augmentation is surgery that increases the projection of a weak or receding chin using an implant or by advancing the chin bone. At Marble Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, Seoul, it is performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon after profile analysis.

A stronger chin defines the jawline, balances the nose and tightens the area under the chin. Implants suit mild to moderate deficiency in projection; sliding genioplasty is preferred when the chin is also short or asymmetric, or when a larger advance is needed.

Candidates

Who is chin augmentation for?

Suitability is decided at a 1:1 consultation with your surgeon.

  • A chin that sits behind the line of the lower lip
  • A weak jawline in profile
  • A nose that appears large because the chin is small
  • Fullness under the chin related to a short chin
The procedure

How chin augmentation is performed at Marble

  1. Consultation and planning Your surgeon measures the ideal chin position relative to your lips and nose and discusses implant versus bone advancement.
  2. Anesthesia and monitoring A board-certified anesthesiologist selects the anesthesia with your surgeon, administers it, and monitors you continuously throughout the procedure.
  3. Adding projection An implant is placed on the bone through an incision inside the mouth, or the chin bone is cut, advanced and fixed with a plate.
  4. Recovery and discharge You rest in a private recovery room under monitoring. Before you leave, the team explains wound care, medication and your follow-up schedule.
Recovery

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How long does a chin implant last?

Chin implants are designed to be long lasting and do not need routine replacement unless a problem occurs.

Can filler augment the chin instead?

Filler gives a temporary, modest increase and is useful to preview the effect before surgery.

Will chin augmentation improve a double chin?

Advancing the chin tightens the tissue beneath it and can improve the appearance; excess fat may also need liposuction.

Who will perform my procedure at Marble Plastic Surgery?
