Chin reshaping
Is this suitable for me?
Suitable for the following individuals:
- Receding chin: Individuals with a noticeably recessed chin when viewed from the side, affecting the overall facial contour.
- Short chin: Individuals with insufficient chin length, making the face appear less prominent.
- Asymmetric chin: Individuals with inconsistent chin shapes on the left and right sides, affecting facial aesthetics.
- High aesthetic standards for chin shape: Individuals seeking to enhance overall facial beauty by improving their chin.
However, the following individuals are not suitable candidates:
- Individuals with severe systemic diseases such as cardiovascular disease or diabetes who cannot tolerate surgery.

- Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Individuals with unstable psychological conditions or unrealistic expectations regarding surgical outcomes.
Select Device
Select Equipment
- Surgical Instruments: Advanced surgical tools are essential for precise operations. For instance, high-precision bone saws and files enable more accurate adjustment of the chin bone's position and shape during osteotomy procedures. Endoscopic equipment allows surgeons to clearly observe internal structures during surgery, minimizing trauma and risks.
- Non-Surgical Instruments: For injectable fillers, the quality of syringes and needles significantly impacts both efficacy and safety. Professional microneedle injection devices offer greater precision in controlling dosage and injection depth, ensuring more uniform filler results.

- Non-Surgical Procedures: The quality of syringes and needles used during injectable fillers also impacts efficacy and safety. Specialized micro-needle injection devices can more precisely control dosage and depth, enhancing the uniformity of the filler results.
Price
- Surgical chin augmentation: Prices vary depending on the surgical technique, type of implant material, region, and hospital grade. Generally, chin implant surgery costs between 15,000 and 75,000 KRW, while osteotomy-based chin advancement, which is more complex, typically ranges from 45,000 to 120,000 KRW or higher.
- Non-surgical chin augmentation: The cost of hyaluronic acid injections varies by brand and dosage, ranging from 3,000 to 15,000 KRW per syringe; autologous fat grafting generally costs between 7,500 and 30,000 KRW.
Expected Outcome
Expected Results
- Surgical Procedures: A recovery period is required after surgery. Once swelling subsides, the chin shape gradually stabilizes. Final results are typically visible within 3 to 6 months, with noticeable improvement in the chin and a more defined, aesthetically pleasing facial contour.
- Non-Surgical Procedures: Initial results are visible immediately after injection, though mild swelling and bruising may occur. These usually subside within 1 to 2 weeks, resulting in a more natural appearance.
Combination Therapy
Adverse Effects and Complications
Side Effects and Complications
Surgical procedures: Potential complications include infection, bleeding, implant displacement, rejection, and numbness of the chin. Infections typically occur within a few days after surgery, presenting as localized redness, swelling, pain, and fever; implant displacement may lead to asymmetry of the chin shape.
Non-surgical procedures: Injectable fillers can cause localized swelling, bruising, hard nodules, and allergic reactions. Improper injection techniques may result in vascular embolism, leading to severe consequences such as skin necrosis and blindness.

Select Equipment
Similar to the equipment selection section, both surgical and non-surgical procedures require key instruments. When choosing, prioritize the instrument's technological advancement, safety, and reliability, ensuring it has been certified and tested by relevant authorities.
Project Contraindications
Contraindications for the Procedure
- Absolute Contraindications: As previously mentioned, chin augmentation surgery is prohibited for individuals with severe systemic diseases, facial or oral infections, and for pregnant or breastfeeding women.
- Relative Contraindications: Individuals taking certain medications that may affect blood clotting (such as aspirin) should discontinue use under a doctor's supervision for a specified period before undergoing surgery. Additionally, individuals with a tendency to develop keloids or hypertrophic scars should proceed with caution, as surgery may result in noticeable scarring.

Side effects
Side Effects
Referencing the section on side effects and complications, both surgical and non-surgical chin contouring procedures may result in varying degrees of side effects. It is essential to fully understand these potential issues and prepare accordingly.
Side Effects and Complications
Surgical Procedures: Potential complications include infection, bleeding, implant displacement, rejection reactions, and chin numbness. Infections typically manifest within a few days after surgery, presenting symptoms such as localized redness, swelling, pain, and fever. Implant displacement may lead to asymmetry in chin shape.
Non-Surgical Procedures: Injectable fillers can cause localized swelling, bruising, hardening, and allergic reactions. Improper injection techniques may result in vascular embolism, leading to severe consequences such as skin necrosis or blindness.
Self-Symptom Check
Symptom Self-Diagnosis
If symptoms such as localized redness and swelling, intensified pain, fever, or abnormal discharge occur after surgery, infection may be indicated. If a sudden change in chin shape or a noticeable sense of displacement is observed, it could suggest implant displacement or uneven distribution of filler material. Seek medical attention promptly if these conditions arise.

Select Treatment Plan
The physician will develop a comprehensive treatment plan based on the patient's facial features, chin foundation, personal needs, and expectations. When making a selection, the patient should communicate thoroughly with the doctor to understand the pros, cons, and risks of various options, then make a decision aligned with their specific circumstances.
