A broad or bulging chin or jaw tends to give a stubborn and strong impression. MINA PLASTIC SURGERY offers two different ways to solve this issue:
- Jaw Reduction.
- T Osteotomy.
Dr. Cha will meticulously examine the client’s state and decide what procedure the client will need.
The Jaw Reduction procedure is focused on reducing the size of the jaw. As broad jaws tend to be too angular, the surgery will involve excision from the subauricular (under ear) jaw bone to the frontal jaw bone, straightening out the extra angle and forming a sleek v-line.
T Osteotomy at MINA PLASTIC SURGERY is performed mainly on the chin. It reshapes a small part of the chin and trims the side jaws, creating a straight, narrow chin line.
Chin/Jaw Reduction at MINA PLASTIC SURGERY will take about 1~2 hours, with the client being under general anesthesia. After the operation, the client will need to stay in the clinic for several hours for recovery from anesthesia and after-surgery treatments.
However, the client will be able to return to her/his accomodation on the day of the surgery. Revisiting MINA PLASTIC SURGERY after 7 days is required for stitch removal, check-ups and post treatments.
Clients are advised to avoid smoking two weeks prior to, and after the surgery in order to get the best results and speed up the recovery.
Chin/Jaw Reduction is recommended to those who experience difficulties due to their wide jaws.
Having a wide jaw line is often accompanied with an overly angular jawline or a blunt chin. These appearances may give the person a stubborn and masculine look.
They can also make the face look wider than it actually is, breaking facial balance. Chin/Jaw Reduction at MINA PLASTIC SURGERY will work best for clients who want to achieve a softer, more feminine look by getting a sleek v-line.
- After carefully analysing the bone structure and resection degree, Dr. Cha designs the best possible outcome.
- Removal of the subauricular (under the ear) jaw bone to the front jaw bone is performed.
- Cortical resection is performed, if necessary.
- Before suturing back up, Dr. Cha pulls the surrounding muscle and skin up to prevent sagging.
What is Cortical Resection?
"Cortical bone" refers to the bone that forms the angle of the rear jaw. Resecting this bone will reduce the thickness of the jawbone, enabling the clients to obtain a narrower, a more smoothed jaw line.
- Dr. Cha osteotomizes the end of the chin in a T shape, avoiding the nerve points.
- The middle bone is removed.
- Dr. Cha brings in the remaining bones of each side and fixes them together.
- The protruding side jaws are removed to accomplish a smooth jaw line.
- Golden ratio
Dr. Cha of MINA PLASTIC SURGERY precisely analyzes the patient’s individual characteristics and face structure to perform the procedure based on the golden ratio, thus creating the most suitable result for each patient.
- Personalized multi-procedure
The chin/jaw reduction is a complex surgery in which the operator must consider various factors that differ for each patient. In order to give patients the best results, MINA PLASTIC SURGERY adapts three different techniques: long curve resection, cortical resection, and prevention of cheek deflection.
