Treatment Overview
Chin Implant Surgery is a popular cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the shape, projection, and symmetry of the chin. It involves placing a biocompatible implant over the jawbone to improve facial balance and overall profile.
In Korea, advanced techniques and precision planning allow surgeons to tailor the implant’s size and shape to each patient’s facial structure, creating natural-looking, harmonious results that complement the rest of the face.
