If your chin is recessed and you don’t want an extensive procedure like genioplasty then a chin implant may be right for you. An implant is placed through the inside of the mouth to provide a projection for the chin.

Ideal candidates for implants are those who require an increase of 4mm or less of chin projection. If you are not ready yet for a chin implant then additional dimensions can be added using chin filler although the result won’t be as dynamic as a chin implant. This filler lasts for 6 months to 1 year usually and it can be dissolved via an anti-filler injection if you don’t like the look.

There are 5 and 10-year fillers for the chin out there but not all people qualify for it and it is much harder to remove later on (can only be removed via a surgical procedure).

Surgery Time: 30 minutes-1.5 hours

Anesthesia: Local with sedation (deep sleep)

Hospitalization: You can leave the clinic right away for chin filler and after 1-2 hours for the chin implant

After Surgery Check-ups: 1-3

Recommended Minimum Time in Seoul: 1 day for filler and 7 days for the chin implant

Recovery Time to Normal Look: 1-3 weeks

Recovery Time to Full Setting: 6-12 months
