Short chin surgery
This customized surgery moves the chin forward to make a natural and beautiful facial line through procedures such as advancement, T osteotomy advancement and prosthetic insertion depending on an individual’s chin condition .
What is short chin surgery?
The surgery incises the chin and moves forward if the front chin is sunken behind.
The short chin surgery for moving the tip of the chin forward corrects the unclear chin line and improves your face to a defined look if your dental occlusion is good despite your sunken chin.
Tip
The feature is considered a short chin (micrognathia) if the chin is sunken and the dental occlusion is poor. It can be corrected with bimaxillary osteotomy (two-jaw surgery) which moves the entire chin forward.
Bone scalpel enhancing the accuracy
The bone scalpel is an ultrasonic device which cuts the bones by responding only to the bone tissues.
It has less vibration within 0.5mm enabling a very precise surgery, protects nearby blood vessels and nerves by responding only to bones, causes less tissue damages and bleeding and provides quick recovery.

Adjusts the chin length depending on the angle of bone resection to make a natural jaw line.
1
Cut the lower chin bone while avoiding the neural gland
2
Move the sunken bone forward.
2T osteotomy advancement

Gather cut bones
Collect the cut bones and move forward.
3
Shave off bones
Smoothly grind the chin line.
3Prosthetic insertion
This procedure inserts the prosthetics molded in the shape of the chin bone contour into the front side of the chin bone through a small incision in the oral cavity.
It firmly fixes the prosthetics not to move according to the muscle movement while talking or eating.

23D CT upgrading the operational precision and stability
The 3D CT irradiates the X-ray into the human body and reconstructs the image with the computer to display the internal status with multidimensional images.
Unlike the existing X-ray image, the technique shows more than 3,000 times higher precision and thoroughly analyzes the size, location, depth, length and width of the facial bone to provide a customized operation plan with the operation method and range.
Furthermore, safe surgery is performed by precisely understanding the location of neural glands to prevent nerve damages.
