T-Osteotomy Chin Reduction in Seoul
Achieve a Smaller, Softer Chin Line with Advanced Bone Contouring
ο»Ώ
T-Osteotomy Chin Reduction is a specialized surgical technique used to slim and reshape a wide or square chin by removing and repositioning bone. This advanced chin contouring method creates a more delicate, tapered appearance, making it especially popular among individuals seeking a smaller and more feminine lower face.
Seoul is a leading destination for T-Osteotomy procedures due to its highly skilled facial bone specialists, modern facilities, and refined surgical techniques. The procedure is often performed as part of full facial contouring, but it can also be done as a standalone surgery to improve the balance of facial features.
What Is T-Osteotomy Chin Reduction?
T-Osteotomy refers to a surgical approach that cuts the chin bone into a T-shape, allowing the central segment to be removed and the side segments to be brought closer together. This results in a narrower and more refined chin. Compared to traditional horizontal osteotomies, the T-Osteotomy offers enhanced control over both chin width and shape.
This technique is ideal for individuals with:
- A broad, wide, or square chin
- A prominent or protruding chin
- A desire for a slimmer, heart-shaped lower face
- No need for chin advancement (moving the chin forward)
How the Procedure Works
Performed under general anesthesia, the surgeon makes an incision inside the mouth to access the chin bone, avoiding any visible scarring. Using a precise T-shaped cut, the central portion of the chin bone is removed. The remaining segments are then moved inward and fixed with biocompatible plates and screws for stability.
The procedure typically takes 1.5 to 2 hours, and patients may stay overnight for observation depending on the case.
What to Expect During Recovery
Recovery after T-Osteotomy is similar to other bone contouring surgeries. Patients can expect:
- Mild to moderate swelling and bruising for the first 1–2 weeks
- A soft-food diet for a few days post-surgery
- Use of compression bandages to reduce swelling and support the new chin shape
- Return to normal daily activities within 1–2 weeks
- Final results visible after swelling subsides (typically 3–4 weeks)
Risks and Considerations
As with any surgical procedure, T-Osteotomy carries some risks, including:
- Swelling, bruising, and numbness
- Temporary nerve sensitivity
- Mild asymmetry
- Infection (rare)
- Bone healing irregularities (very rare)
Careful preoperative planning and post-op follow-up minimize these risks significantly.
T-Osteotomy vs. Other Chin Contouring Options
| Option | Description | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|---|
| T-Osteotomy | Bone reduction with T-shaped cut | Permanent, highly customized shape | Invasive, recovery time |
| Sliding Genioplasty | Repositions the chin bone | Good for advancement or setback | Doesn’t reduce chin width |
| Chin Implants | Synthetic implant added to chin | Quick recovery, less invasive | Limited shape control |
| Fillers | Injectable volume for temporary shaping | Non-surgical, fast results | Temporary, not structural |
π T-Osteotomy offers a unique advantage for patients specifically seeking to reduce the width and size of the chin.
