A few years ago, my friend Jiwon started feeling self-conscious about her side profile. She had always been confident, but she couldn’t shake the feeling that her receding chin made her face look unbalanced. After some research, she realized that genioplasty (chin surgery) was a popular and effective option in Korea.
What surprised us both was how common the procedure actually is. In Korea, facial harmony is a big deal, and genioplasty is often done alongside jaw contouring or rhinoplasty to create a more balanced, natural look. It’s not just about aesthetics—many people get it for functional reasons too, like improving their bite or reducing strain on the jaw.
After a ton of research (and scrolling through endless before-and-after photos), Jiwon decided to go with Soon Plastic Surgery in Seoul. Their team of specialists, including Dr. SoonDong Kim, Dr. EungSam Kim, Dr. InSoo Seo, Dr. JongMin Lim, and Dr. Suji Ban, is highly experienced in genioplasty and facial contouring. What stood out the most was their focus on natural results—no overdone, artificial looks.
From the consultation to post-op care, the experience was amazing. The doctors took the time to explain everything, used 3D imaging to show possible results, and tailored the surgery to her facial structure. The recovery process was smoother than she expected, and within a few months, her face looked more balanced, yet still 100% her.
Now? She radiates confidence and even jokes about how she should’ve done it sooner.
So, if you’re wondering how popular genioplasty is in Korea, the answer is: very! And if you’re considering it, Soon Plastic Surgery is definitely one of the best clinics to check out. Their team of experts truly prioritizes natural beauty and patient safety.
