[ARTICLES] The “Witch’s Chin” That Becomes Prominent When Smiling—Restoring Natural Expression Through Mentalis Muscle Repositioning

The so-called “witch’s chin,” a condition in which the chin appears excessively elongated, pointed, or pulled downward when smiling, is not merely a cosmetic concern. In many cases, it originates from abnormal tension and misalignment of the mentalis (chin) muscle. While it may be unnoticeable at rest, facial expressions such as smiling or speaking can cause the chin to sink inward or be drawn downward, a result of overactivity of the mentalis muscle and imbalance with surrounding facial muscles. Recently, mentalis muscle repositioning surgery has gained attention as an effective solution for this condition. Rather than altering bone structure, this procedure repositions and re-fixates the overactive chin muscle to its proper anatomical location, structurally correcting the distortion that appears during facial expressions.

"About Facial Asymmetry Correction"


***
FRONT VIEW




From the front view,

the deviated nose bridge was corrected and wide nasal alars were improved with rhinoplasty.
Regarding facial contouring, the protruding lateral cheekbones got reduced by zygoma reduction surgery coming along with smooth facial lines.
Also, the tilted chin was corrected so the overall facial shape was improved.
Plus, the surgery made the overall lower face slimmer as well as buccal fat removal was performed to remove the bulkiness of the jowl next to the lip corners.

SIDE PROFILE



From the side profile,

the nasal hump was smoothed out. Especially, it was designed to make a balance of the nasal tip, lips, and chin tip.

In addition, the surgery was performed by reducing the mandibular angle and the 45-degree of the high cheekbone and at the same time to make the side profile smaller.

To make a more defined jawline, facial liposuction was performed together.
