Weak Chin Correction in Seoul | Gangnam CDU Plastic Surgery Clinic & Cost

What is Weak Chin Correction Surgery?

Weak chin correction surgery, also known as chin augmentation or genioplasty, is a procedure that enhances the projection and definition of a recessed or under-projected chin. A weak chin can make the face appear unbalanced, affecting the jawline and overall facial profile. This surgery restores harmony by advancing the chin bone or placing a biocompatible implant to achieve a more defined, structured look.

At CDU Plastic Surgery Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, we perform weak chin correction using advanced imaging and surgical planning to ensure precise results. Our board-certified facial contouring experts tailor each procedure to your unique anatomy—whether through sliding genioplasty or custom implants—creating a stronger chin and more attractive profile.



Who is a Good Candidate for Weak Chin Correction Surgery?

You may be a good candidate for weak chin correction if you:

✔ Have a recessed or poorly defined chin that blends into the neck
✔ Want a stronger, more structured facial profile
✔ Seek better balance between the chin, nose, and forehead
✔ Are in good general health and free from major jaw disorders
✔ Have realistic expectations for the outcome

At CDU Plastic Surgery Clinic, your consultation includes a thorough analysis of facial proportions and profile balance. For comprehensive enhancement, weak chin correction is often combined with procedures like rhinoplasty, jaw reduction, or neck liposuction to further sharpen the jawline and improve overall facial symmetry.

How is Weak Chin Correction Surgery Performed?

1. Consultation & Evaluation

• Comprehensive facial analysis using 3D scans and side-profile photography to assess chin projection and jaw harmony
• Determination of the underlying cause—small bone structure, recessed chin, or poor jaw alignment
• Personalized treatment planning, including whether to use a chin implant or sliding genioplasty based on severity and facial proportions

2. Surgical Approach

• Typically performed under local sedation or general anesthesia
• Chin implant method: A pre-shaped silicone or Gore-Tex implant is inserted via an incision inside the mouth or just beneath the chin
• Sliding genioplasty: The chin bone is precisely cut, repositioned forward, and secured with biocompatible plates
• Both approaches aim to create stronger projection and improved facial balance, with no visible scarring from intraoral techniques
• The procedure takes 1 to 2 hours depending on the chosen method

3. Recovery & Aftercare

• Swelling, bruising, and temporary tightness are common during the first week
• Oral care is important, especially for intraoral incisions
• A chin support strap or compression band may be used to assist with healing
• Patients are advised to avoid hard chewing or facial pressure for 2–3 weeks
• Follow-up exams ensure implant stability or proper bone healing if genioplasty is done

Recovery & Aftercare

Recovery Timeline:

• Swelling & Discomfort: 1–2 weeks
• Return to Normal Activities: 7–10 days
• Final Chin Definition: Visible in 1–2 months after swelling resolves
• Strenuous Activity: Avoid for 3–4 weeks

Post-op compliance is vital, especially avoiding jaw trauma or excessive movement during early recovery.

✔ Improves chin projection and strengthens the jawline
