Chin Reduction Surgery in Seoul

What Is Chin Reduction Surgery?

Chin reduction surgery, also known as genioplasty or mandibular contouring, reshapes the chin bone to achieve a smaller, smoother, or more proportionate appearance. Surgeons often use micro-precision bone shaving or repositioning techniques to create a softer and more balanced facial profile.

It can address:

• Long chin (length reduction)
• Protruding chin
• Asymmetric chin
• Wide or bulky chin shape

Who Is a Good Candidate?

You may be a suitable candidate if you have:

• A naturally long or prominent chin
• Lower-face imbalance
• Desire for a softer or more delicate look
• Chin asymmetry
• Good overall bone and gum health
