Chin Surgery at Light Plastic Surgery Clinic

Are you looking to enhance your facial profile, achieve better balance among your features, or correct a recessed or prominent chin? Chin surgery—also known as genioplasty or mentoplasty—is a transformative cosmetic procedure that refines the lower face for a more proportionate and attractive appearance.

At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic in Seoul, our skilled surgeons specialize in precision chin contouring, using advanced surgical techniques and a customized approach tailored to each patient’s facial structure and goals. Whether you want to subtly project the chin or reduce its prominence, we’re here to guide you every step of the way with personalized care.

Why Choose Chin Surgery?

 Chin shape plays a vital role in defining the overall balance and harmony of the face. Many individuals opt for chin surgery to:

• Improve a weak or receding chin (chin augmentation)
• Reduce an overly prominent or long chin (chin reduction)
• Enhance facial proportions, especially in profile view
• Create a more V-line or heart-shaped jawline
• Correct congenital deformities or trauma-related asymmetry

No matter your motivation, chin surgery can provide a dramatic improvement in facial balance, often complemented by other contouring procedures for enhanced results.

Customized Approach to Chin Enhancement

 At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic, we understand that no two faces are the same. That’s why our approach is always personalized to suit your unique anatomy and aesthetic preferences.

Types of Chin Surgery:

• Chin Augmentation (Implant or Sliding Genioplasty): For a recessed or underdeveloped chin. Options include medical-grade silicone implants or repositioning the chin bone (sliding genioplasty) for a more natural look.
• Chin Reduction Surgery: For those with a long or protruding chin. The bone is carefully sculpted to reduce projection and harmonize with the rest of the face.
• Chin Asymmetry Correction: Ideal for individuals with uneven or crooked chins. This procedure restores symmetry and balance.
• Our goal is to deliver a natural, refined result that complements your facial structure while preserving your individuality.

Consultation and Planning

Your consultation at Light Plastic Surgery Clinic includes a detailed evaluation of your facial proportions, chin structure, and cosmetic goals.

We will:

• Analyze facial angles and symmetry using digital imaging
• Discuss surgical options based on your anatomy
• Review before-and-after photos of similar cases
• Offer simulation tools to help visualize potential results
• Address all questions and concerns regarding the procedure and recovery

We prioritize transparent communication and realistic expectations to ensure you’re confident and informed about your surgical plan.

The Procedure: What to Expect

Chin surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia and takes 1–2 hours, depending on the complexity.

Surgical Techniques:

• Incision Location: For implants, incisions may be placed inside the mouth or under the chin. For bone reshaping, internal incisions are often preferred to avoid visible scarring.
• Implant Placement or Bone Repositioning: The chosen technique is performed with meticulous precision.
• Wound Closure: Sutures are applied and compression dressing is placed to minimize swelling.

Patients typically return home the same day and can resume light activities within a few days.

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery times vary by procedure but most patients can expect:

• Swelling and mild bruising for 1–2 weeks
• Return to normal activities in 5–7 days (for implants), or 10–14 days (for bone surgery)
• Full results becoming visible within 4–6 weeks

You’ll be provided with detailed aftercare instructions, and follow-up visits will be scheduled to monitor healing and progress.
