Genioplasty in Korea

01 — Overview

Genioplasty

Genioplasty reshapes the chin — advancing a receding chin, reducing a long one, or correcting asymmetry — to bring the lower face into balance.

The chin anchors the lower-face profile. Genioplasty moves or reshapes the chin bone to correct a receding, long, or asymmetric chin, improving both front and side balance. Because it uses your own bone, the result is permanent and natural.

Asymmetry Correction — An off-centre chin is repositioned to the midline.
With Jaw / V-Line — Combined with jaw contouring for full lower-face harmony.

03 — The MOOi Process

How your case is handled

Surgeon-led analysisYour structure, proportion and goals are assessed directly by the surgeon — with 3D imaging where helpful.

Balance over volumeThe plan considers natural facial harmony — never a one-size template.

Surgeon-performed, start to finishThe surgeon who consults you performs your surgery — never delegated.

Natural, lasting resultStability and long-term outcome are planned so the result settles naturally and lasts.

"Every result is designed, not duplicated. We plan around your face and structure — for a result that looks like you, only refined."

07 — FAQ

Common questions

Is genioplasty better than a chin implant?

Genioplasty uses your own bone, giving a permanent, natural result and allowing 3D repositioning — useful for length and asymmetry an implant cannot address.

Will there be a scar?

Incisions are inside the mouth, so there is no visible external scar.

How long is recovery?

Plan 7–10 days in Seoul; swelling subsides over weeks, final result over months.

Can it fix an asymmetric chin?

Yes — the chin can be repositioned to the midline to correct asymmetry.
