Have you always wanted a chin that suited your face better? Many people have undergone genioplasty to obtain a more symmetrical look and find that genioplasty or mini V-line surgery has helped them. Korea is the world leader in plastic surgery and the leaders in v-line (chin) surgery.\u00a0 Below is a step-by-step guide on what to expect when getting genioplasty in South Korea through Seoul Guide Medical.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t

Genioplasty surgery, also known as mini V-Line surgery or V-Line, is where you alter your chin to create more harmony and symmetry in the face. V-Line is sometimes considered just surgery on the chin or it can be considered as surgery for the jaw and chin. Surgery for the jaw is known also as <\/span>mandible jaw reduction<\/span><\/a> or square jaw reduction. Mandible jaw reduction can have a short cut which does not touch the chin or a long cut which shapes the sides of the chin. For further improvements on the chin, a type of genioplasty procedure is needed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because everyone has different face structures, the type of genioplasty best suited for you will be recommended by a Seoul Guide Medical approved plastic surgeon, and the excellent staff here at SGM. Genioplasty can be used to improve abnormal dental bite positions, chins that are too tall or too short, chins that have asymmetry, chins that are misaligned, chins that are too large, chins that are too extended, chins that are too weak (retrogenia<\/span>)<\/span> and chins that are receding.<\/span><\/p>\n

As you can see in the image above, different chin conditions require different surgical cuts.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t

The Procedure In Detail
\n<\/h2>\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

Most genioplasty surgeries will take about 1 hour to complete, but this can be longer or shorter depending on your case. After the surgery, you may have to stay in the hospital for 1 night for observation and care, after which you can head to your accommodations.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Before you undergo surgery, you will have online consultations with our team at SGM, an in clinic consultation with the doctor who will perform your surgery, fill out documentation for your surgery and have everything explained to you with the final confirmation coming from you. Once you complete your paperwork, you will be taken to the surgery room for preparation. The preparation can take anywhere from 15-40 minutes but it can take longer depending on the case. At this point you are awake and thinking happy thoughts. Once the preparation is done, the anesthesiologist will let you know it is time to go to sleep. This surgery is normally done under general anesthesia, which means you will be asleep during the surgery and not be able to move making the procedure safe. Once the surgery begins, the following procedure will take place (please note it can change depending on the case):<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The plastic surgeon cuts along the border of the lower jaw and the inside of the lower lip, inside the mouth. There is no external cut and no external stitches afterwards.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. He\/She then makes an incision in the layer of softer tissue to gain access to the chin bone.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. When the doctor accesses the chin bone, he\/she makes a small vertical cut in the chin, using it as a referencing point during the operation.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Horizontal osteotomy is performed below the bottom teeth. The surgeon can change the height of the chin depending on how high she\/he makes the cut. If you want your chin to be smaller, the surgeon can also remove a piece of bone to make the chin smaller.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. How you want your chin to look or what is needed for your chin determines the outcome of this next step. Here the bone can slide forward, backward, or sideways. Any rough edges will be filed away, and the doctor checks the new alignment.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. The next step would be to reattach the chin bone to the jaw with screws and possibly a plate (more on this a bit later).<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. The plastic surgeon closes the wound with stitches (often dissolving stitches) and places compression tape over the front and sides to minimize swelling.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Different kinds of cuts<\/span><\/h3>\n

    Different kinds of cuts result in different face shapes. You may need one or multiple cuts to get the look that you want. Your treatment plan has to be customized. What type of cut you\u2019ll need for your chin or face shape and your wants and needs will all be discussed in the consultation with the doctor. Our highly skilled staff at Seoul Guide Medical will guide you through everything you need to know so that you\u2019ll have the most comfortable experience possible. <\/span><\/p>\n

    In this type of surgery, your chin can be altered to form a better balance and symmetry in your face. The plastic surgeon may shape your chin in a particular shape to obtain this. What shape this is, depends on what your natural face shape is. Therefore, a plastic surgeon can make different kinds of cuts. This can be:<\/span><\/p>\n
