POINT 01
Chin width and length in proportion
Protruding chin correction that considers each person's facial proportions and balance improves the width and length of the chin.
POINT 02
Chin osteotomy matched to chin shape
Various osteotomy methods can be applied to suit each person's different chin shape and preferences.
POINT 03
Protruding chin surgery focused on safety
Through delicate protruding chin correction that considers chin tip length, degree of protrusion and the nerve line, we aim for a highly satisfying surgical result.
Underbite 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.
The ideal golden ratio of the front face
From under the nose to the upper lip is 1, and from the lower lip to the chin tip is 2. Viewed from the front, when the ratio from under the nose to the upper lip is 1, the ideal ratio from the lower lip to the chin tip is 2.
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.
Protruding chin surgery methods
With a normal bite, chin setback is used. If the bite does not fit, two-jaw surgery is used.
Chin setback, lower jawbone osteotomy
The protruding lower jawbone is cut.
Chin setback, improving facial proportions by fixing after setback
The cut bone is set back and fixed to improve facial proportions.
Various osteotomies depending on chin symptoms
Various osteotomy methods can be applied to suit each person's chin symptoms and type, considering the chin tip shape and the position of the nerve line.
Chin width reduction osteotomy
Removes a central piece of the chin bone and brings both sides together to narrow the chin tip.
Chin width and length reduction osteotomy
Removes the central piece and a horizontal strip to reduce both the width and length of the chin tip.
V-line chin osteotomy
Cuts the chin tip in a V shape, removes the center and brings it together for a slimmer chin line.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently asked questions about bite condition and chin tip osteotomy.
Is the bite also checked?
This applies when the bite fits well and the chin tip is long or protrudes. If the bite does not fit, other jaw surgery may be considered. Your actual condition is confirmed at your consultation.
How is the chin tip shape planned?
We look at facial proportions and the length and protrusion of the chin tip, then adjust its position after cutting the chin tip bone. The scope and risks of surgery are explained at your consultation.
