A short or receding chin is balanced by moving it forward or downward, or by supplementing it with an implant.
Chin augmentation is a surgery that improves the balance of the profile by correcting a receding chin, a short chin, or a crooked chin. There are two methods: osteotomy (genu reshaping), which involves cutting, relocating, and fixing the chin bone, and a method that uses implants for correction.
Osteotomy allows the chin bone to be freely moved forward, downward, left, and right, enabling the correction of asymmetry, whereas implants simply add volume but have a limited range of movement.
Since the procedure is performed via the inside of the mouth, there are no scars, but temporary sensory loss may occur. Harmonious results are achieved when designed in conjunction with square jaw and double jaw surgery.
Osteotomy is suitable if asymmetry or significant movement is required, while implants are appropriate for simple volume enhancement. The decision depends on the condition.
Yes, we improve the profile of a receding chin by moving the chin forward or supplementing it with implants.
Yes, it is possible. Many dermatology and plastic surgery clinics in Korea treat foreign patients, and there are also many hospitals that offer consultations or interpretation support in foreign languages such as English, Chinese, and Japanese. On K-Dia, you can compare hospital information and real reviews, and consult directly via chat before your visit.
It usually takes about a week to return to daily activities, and the recovery period for swelling is 2 to 3 weeks. If you are traveling for a short time, it is recommended to schedule your trip with ample time to check your progress immediately after the procedure, and to discuss post-recovery care methods and precautions with the hospital in advance.
Costs vary significantly depending on the hospital, the scope of the procedure, the equipment and materials used, and the anesthesia method. Since Korea has a well-developed infrastructure for procedures, making consultations and price comparisons relatively easy, it is recommended to compare quotes from multiple hospitals rather than relying on just one. You can check event prices and actual reviews by hospital on K-Dia.
