A chin that appears long or drooping is often considered a simple aesthetic concern. However, in many cases, it is the result of multiple underlying factors rather than just a superficial issue. Visually, a drooping chin can elongate the lower face and affect overall facial balance and impression. Chin ptosis is rarely caused by skin laxity alone.

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,

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.
