Ruby Short Chin Correction
We correct a chin that sits back or is short, so the lips and chin connect in a soft curve in profile.
Unclear jawline
An unclear jaw-neck boundary can make the neck look short or the mouth protruding.
Methods by degree
Chin advancement, implants, fat graft or fillers are applied by degree.
Soft curve
The aim is a soft curve connecting the lips and chin.

Short chin correction at Ruby Plastic Surgery
Fill in the missing chin tip for a three-dimensional V-line face!
POINT 01
Chin tip volume for a 3D face
Customized short chin correction can improve toward a defined, three-dimensional V-line face.
POINT 02
It corrects a protruding mouth and creates a defined jaw line.
A mouth that looks protruding because of a receding chin is corrected, and a defined jaw line can be created.
POINT 03
We create the right chin proportions without making it wider.
By advancing only the front chin tip, we create a jaw line in which the chin tip connects naturally without a feeling of the chin widening.
Receding chin diagnosis based on the golden ratio
Because the chin changes the image greatly even with small differences, surgery must follow a thorough, detailed analysis to achieve a good result.
The ideal golden ratio of the side profile
On the line from nose tip to chin tip, 5mm for the upper lip and 2.5mm for the lower lip is ideal. This line's angle is 75 to 80 degrees.
Receding chin self-assessment
If the chin looks short, the chin tip sits back so the mouth looks protruding, and the neck and jaw line blur together, it may be a receding chin.
Precise 3D CT analysis
With university-hospital-grade 3D CT, we analyze facial bones, muscles and facial nerve positions to plan the surgical range and method.
Chin advancement
The recessed lower jawbone is cut and advanced to restore the angle and volume of the chin tip. It can be performed alone or together with angle reduction.
Lower jawbone osteotomy
The recessed lower jawbone is cut.
Fixed for more volume
The cut bone is advanced and fixed to improve the volume of the front chin.
Implant insertion
An implant is inserted through an incision inside the mouth to restore chin volume. The surgery is relatively simple, and the advancement amount is measured for each person to improve the chin line.
Custom implant through the mouth
A customized implant is inserted through the mouth.
Volume with a custom implant
A customized implant improves the line and volume of the front chin.
Chin tip fat graft and filler
This is the simplest and easiest method, using fillers or fat graft to improve chin tip volume. It is used for a small amount of advancement.

Fat graft or chin tip filler injection
