Chin implant in AB Plastic Surgery
About the clinic
Chin implant surgery at AB Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, Seoul, corrects a recessed chin using customized silicone implants. This procedure creates a balanced facial profile without the need for bone cutting. The clinic holds a 4.9 rating from verified global reviews and KAHF accreditation for international patient care.
Personalized Chin Augmentation Methods
The clinic focuses on facial contouring through two main approaches. A customized silicone implant works best for mild chin recession. This implant is semi-permanent and does not get absorbed by the body over time. For more significant cases, the surgical team offers sliding genioplasty, where the chin bone is advanced forward. Every plan starts with a 3D CT scan to map the facial structure accurately. Blood tests follow to confirm the patient is ready for the procedure.
Surgery and Recovery Details
Dr. Cho Dong-Pill performs the surgery in about 1 to 1.5 hours. He uses an intraoral incision inside the mouth, which leaves no visible scars on the face. A board-certified anesthesiologist manages sedation anesthesia throughout the process. Patients typically visit the clinic twice after the operation. Most people return to daily activities after 7 days when the sutures are removed. While initial healing is fast, significant swelling usually takes over 4 weeks to go away completely.
International Patient Care
AB Plastic Surgery provides several services to help international travelers. The team assists with hotel bookings, airport transfers, and interpreter services. Patients should plan to stay in South Korea for 10 to 14 days to complete all follow-up care. The medical team provides all necessary pain medications and antibiotics after the surgery. You can request a consultation through Bookimed to discuss your specific goals with the specialists at AB Plastic Surgery.
