[ARTICLES] Understanding Chin Ptosis: Causes, Solutions, and Why Accurate Diagnosis Matters

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. Instead, it often involves a combination of factors such as the length or position of the chin bone, fat accumulation in the chin area, and loosening of the skin and soft tissues. In particular, when the chin bone is long or protrudes downward, it can make the face appear longer or create a heavier impression. As the causes vary, treatment approaches must also be tailored to each individual.

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.
