What is chin implant surgery?
Chin implant surgery places a shaped implant over the chin bone to increase projection and define the profile. At Marble Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, Seoul, it is performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon through an incision inside the mouth.
Implants come in different shapes and sizes and can be carved to fit. They are a quick, reliable option when the chin only needs to come forward. Precise pocket placement on the bone keeps the implant stable and centered.
Who is chin implant surgery for?
Suitability is decided at a 1:1 consultation with your surgeon.
- Mild to moderate chin recession
- A chin of normal height that lacks projection
- People wanting a short procedure and recovery

Frequently asked questions
What are chin implants made of?
Commonly medical-grade silicone or other biocompatible materials. Your surgeon explains the options.
Can a chin implant move?
A precisely sized pocket and fixation keep it stable. Displacement is uncommon and can be corrected.
Chin implant or sliding genioplasty?
