Retmus Plastic Surgery
What is Chin Contouring Surgery?
Chin contouring surgery corrects an underdeveloped or overly long chin
to achieve a more refined and harmonious facial proportion.
By precisely adjusting the length and position of the chin
according to each patient’s unique facial ratio,
Retmus creates a slimmer, well-balanced lower face line.

Retmus Chin Contouring Technique
Chin correction surgery at Retmus, performed directly by Dr. Chung.
- 1.
- T-osteotomy Genioplasty
- Method 01
- T-shaped Osteotomy Avoiding the Nerve Line
A precise analysis of the chin area is performed, and the osteotomy is designed in a T-shape while avoiding the mental nerve.
- Method 02
- Resection of the Central and Lateral Bone Segments
The lateral mandibular segments and the central bone piece are trimmed to reduce unnecessary width and protrusion.
- Method 03
- Stable Fixation With Pins
After repositioning the chin to the ideal location, fixation pins are used to secure the bone firmly, ensuring stable and predictable results.
- 2.
- Chin Advancement Surgery
- Method 01
- Before Surgery
Preoperative side view of the chin.
- Method 02
- Horizontal Osteotomy Marking
The chin is horizontally osteotomized and advanced forward.
- Method 03
- After Surgery
This method is performed when the patient has a recessed chin(retrogenia). The chin bone is cut horizontally and advanced into a more projected position.
- 3.
- Chin Setback Surgery
- Method 01
- Before Surgery
Preoperative side view of the chin.
- Method 02
- Horizontal Osteotomy Line Marking
The chin tip is horizontally separated and repositioned backward.
- Method 03
- After Surgery
This method is performed when the patient has normal occlusion but a protruding chin, or when the chin is excessively long. The chin bone is pushed inward to reduce prominence.
- 4.
- Chin Implant Surgery
- Method 01
- Before Surgery
Preoperative side view of the chin.
- Method 02
- Implant Placement
An implant is placed in the chin area.
- Method 03
- After Surgery
A silicone or Gore-Tex implant is inserted through an intraoral incision to enhance and refine the chin contour.

Postoperative Precautions
Here are some important guidelines to follow after surgery.
- Q.
-
# Chin Contouring(Genioplasty)Patient
If I have prognathism, can chin surgery alone fix it?
-
# Chin Contouring(Genioplasty)Retmus Plastic Surgery
Chin surgery alone can create a dramatic improvement only when
the chin is recessed(retrogenia) or when the vertical length of the chin is long.
However, if you have a long and forward-protruding prognathic
chin(Genioplasty), the effect of chin surgery alone is limited.
Since many nerves pass through the chin area and the tooth roots
are located nearby, there are anatomical limits to how much
bone can be safely cut.
We recommend visiting for a consultation with a specialist to determine
the most appropriate surgical approach. - A.
- Q.
-
# Chin Contouring(Genioplasty)Patient
I have a double chin with a lot of chin fat. Will chin surgery improve this?
-
# Chin Contouring(Genioplasty)Retmus Plastic Surgery
In some cases, chin surgery can help — but not always.
If you undergo chin advancement surgery, the skin is stretched forward,
which often improves the double chin area.
However, if the chin is moved backward or shortened,
the double chin may actually worsen. - A.
