MACS Genioplasty is Different

MACS Genioplasty

Ricketts' E-line determines a beautiful side profile.
When a line is drawn from the lips to the chin tip, a gap of 4mm for the upper lip
and 2mm for the lower lip is considered a balanced and beautiful profile.
MACS does not simply perform chin tip surgery.
We carefully consider the line from the tip of the nose to the chin to create a balanced facial line from any angle.

Sharp V-Line from Any Angle
Chin surgery that completes a perfect V-line whether viewed from the front, side, or 45-degree angle.

Patient-Customized Chin Design
Chin surgery improves the chin line to one with balanced beauty, considering the presence of a receding or lantern jaw, as well as its length and size.

Precise Nerve Line Identification
Through 3D AI facial analysis, we accurately analyze the nerve lines and the entire facial skeleton to prioritize safety and reduce concerns about nerve damage.

Details Make the Difference

Point 1.3D AI Virtual Surgery Program
After conducting our self-developed 3D AI facial analysis, you can preview your post-surgery appearance using the 3D virtual surgery program. Additionally, we aim for safe surgery by accurately identifying the position of nerves to avoid damage, ensuring effective results.

Point 2.Customized Osteotomy Methods
Based on the head surgeon's extensive experience of over 4,000 facial bone surgeries, we apply various osteotomy methods such as inverted-V, T-osteotomy, horizontal osteotomy, V-line resection, and double osteotomy tailored to each individual.
By combining thorough consultation on skeletal structure, nerve location, and jaw shape with our 3D AI analysis, we complete the face shape you desire.

Point 3.Self-Customized V-Line
Chin surgery, which determines the V-line, results in various face shapes depending on the length, width, and degree of protrusion of the chin tip. Using 3D AI virtual surgery and 1:1 customized design, you can expect satisfying results ranging from a natural chin line to a sharp, glamorous V-line.

MACS V-Line Osteotomy Methods

Based on extensive surgical experience and profound knowledge of oral and maxillofacial structures,
we apply patient-specific osteotomy methods according to the jaw shape and desired line.

Inverted-V + Long-Curve Resection
A method that shortens the length and improves the jaw into a slim line while maintaining the original shape of the chin tip.
Performed even when the nerve line is low.

T-Osteotomy + Long-Curve Resection
Applied when the jaw is both wide and long. It effectively shortens the lower face and improves the jawline into a slim profile.

Butterfly Osteotomy + Long-Curve Resection
An osteotomy method for those who want a slimmer and more pointed V-line than the standard shape.

Spade Osteotomy + Long-Curve Resection
Performed to effectively reduce jaw length while creating a natural U-shaped line.

Receding Chin - Chin Advancement
If the lower jaw is short or retracted (weak chin), chin advancement surgery is performed.

Lantern Jaw - Chin Setback
If the chin tip is long and excessively protruding, chin setback surgery is performed to move the chin tip slightly backward.

Q.
Is it effective to only undergo chin advancement?

If your dental occlusion is good and the positions of the upper and lower jaws are normal, chin surgery alone can provide satisfactory results.
However, in cases of malocclusion, double jaw surgery must be combined to complete a balanced face shape.

Q.
Is chin surgery possible without orthodontic treatment?

Orthodontic treatment is intended to treat malocclusion and is independent of chin surgery.
Those with good dental occlusion can undergo chin surgery without braces.

Q.
Can a mild lantern jaw be improved with chin surgery?

In cases of a mild lantern jaw, significant effects can be achieved through orthodontic treatment combined with chin surgery.
It is important to check your dental occlusion through consultation with a medical professional beforehand.
