Chin Augmentation in Seoul, Korea
Chin augmentation in Gangnam, Seoul at Marble Plastic Surgery: strengthen a weak or receding chin with an implant or bone advancement.
Typical ranges for chin augmentation; your surgeon confirms the details at consultation.
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.
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
How chin augmentation is performed at Marble
- Consultation and planning Your surgeon measures the ideal chin position relative to your lips and nose and discusses implant versus bone advancement.
- Anesthesia and monitoring A board-certified anesthesiologist selects the anesthesia with your surgeon, administers it, and monitors you continuously throughout the procedure.
- 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.
- 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 and aftercare
Swelling is greatest in the first week and largely settles within two to three weeks. A soft diet and careful mouth hygiene are advised while the incision inside the mouth heals.
- Regenerative laser care
- Ultrasound and radiofrequency care
- Before-and-after X-ray and CT imaging
- Recovery kit to take home

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.
