Weak · Short Chin Surgery

If you have a weak · short chin, it may appear smaller compared to the upper jaw and seem recessed, leading
to a protruding appearance of the mouth. This condition often results from underdeveloped lower jaw bones.
Through surgery, it's possible to correct this protrusion and achieve a more defined chin line.

Considering

Weak · Short Chin Surgery?

Short Chin surgery is commonly performed when the length of the
chin is insufficient, causing an unclear boundary between the neck
and face and protrusion issues. The ideal proportions, considering
the overall facial ratio, chin line, skin elasticity, etc., are taken into
account during the surgery.

Ideal Chin Tip According

to the Golden Ratio

The golden ratio involves maintaining equal proportions in the distances from the hairline to the middle of the eyebrows, from the middle of the eyebrows to the tip of the nose, and from the tip of the nose to the chin. Additionally, the distance between the cheekbones should protrude about 10% more than the width of the head, and the distance between the angular parts of the lower jaw should decrease by approximately 20% compared to the width of the head.

Q&A

  • Q Which surgery, between square jaw surgery and front chin surgery,
    provides more effective results for chin correction?
    A Chin tip surgery can be categorized into square jaw surgery and front chin surgery. While square jaw surgery alone can achieve a V-line transformation
    of the chin tip, combining it with front chin surgery generally results in a more significant frontal effect. Determining the suitable method
    and extent of surgery based on individual conditions requires consultation with a specialist to assess the shape of the chin bones.
