Receding Chin Correction Procedures

Receding chin correction is divided into 3 types based on surgical methods and material used for surgery.

01

Receding Chin Correction with Implant Insertion

It is the method by implant insertion to correct receding chin. Implant selected from various sizes and shapes is cut and trimmed to fit individual’s bone shape. Silicone and Gore-Tex are commonly used for implant materials.

Sliding Osteotomy Genioplasty

Because the implant inserted for severe case of receding chin can cause unnecessary muscle contraction, entire jaw bone should be cut horizontally and slid forward. In this way, chin after surgery looks natural with a beautiful neck line as well.

01. Exclusion of foreign materials insures minimum complications.
02. Length of the chin can be adjusted to various levels.
03. Unwanted muscle contraction is prevented; the result looks natural.

Receding Chin Correction by Fat Grafting

It is to harvest fat from body parts where excessive fat is stored such as thighs and hips, and graft onto the receding chin in multiple layers. This method is also known for body contouring effect since the procedure grafts unnecessary fat from your own body. BK Plastic Surgery Hospital has developed its ways to increase survival rate of grafted fat cells to enhance its lasting period and results of the procedure.
