Chin Tip Surgery

The length and width of the tip of the chin determine the shape of a pretty face. And the facial proportions considering the degree of protrusion!

Accurate chin tip diagnosis

By using X-ray and CT scans, we consider the exact location of nerve lines and muscle shapes to accurately diagnose and plan the surgical method. The width and length of the chin tip are then designed to achieve the shape desired by the patient.

Ideal chin tip surgery

Ultimately, these are all surgical techniques aimed at creating an aesthetically pleasing facial contour. A doctor of medicine from Seoul National University, experienced in facial contouring, diagnoses the ideal facial proportions. He then performs surgery, tailored to each patient, using skillful techniques and a delicate touch.
