Point V Chin Correction: A Non-Surgical Option for a More Defined Chin

A well-balanced chin can make a meaningful difference in overall facial harmony, especially from the front and side profile. For international visitors seeking a refined chin shape without the extended downtime associated with surgery, Haru Clinic offers Point V Chin Correction.

This treatment uses specialized semi-permanent threads to help improve the appearance of a chin that looks wide, flat, short, or blunt. It is designed for patients who want a more tapered, defined chin contour with minimal interruption to their daily schedule.

Patient Concern: Repeated Filler Treatments and Surgical Downtime

The patient in this case had a chin tip that appeared relatively wide, blunt, and short. She had previously received chin filler treatments on a regular basis to create a slimmer chin shape.

Over time, however, she felt that the refined appearance became less distinct—even when filler volume remained. Because the result required repeat treatments and could vary depending on treatment technique, she began considering chin implant surgery.

Before planning surgery, the existing chin filler was dissolved. However, the recovery period required after implant surgery made it difficult to schedule the procedure around work commitments. As a result, the surgery was postponed.

While looking for an alternative, she learned about Haru Clinic’s Point V Chin Tip Correction procedure and visited for a consultation.

What Is Point V Chin Tip Correction?

Point V Chin Tip Correction is a non-surgical contouring treatment that uses specialized semi-permanent threads to help reshape and define the chin tip.

Depending on the patient’s facial proportions and goals, the procedure may help:

• Create a slimmer, more tapered chin appearance
• Improve the look of a broad or blunt chin tip
• Add subtle forward projection to the chin
• Enhance balance between the chin, lips, and lower facial contour
• Refine the appearance of the facial profile with minimal downtime

Unlike chin implant surgery, this procedure does not involve a surgical implant or a lengthy recovery period. In addition, if removal is needed, the threads may be removed by a qualified medical professional.

Why This Patient Chose the Procedure

Following a personalized consultation, the patient chose Point V Chin Tip Correction because she wanted to improve her chin shape while avoiding the extended downtime of surgery.

Her goals included:

• A narrower and more refined chin tip
• Improved forward projection from the side
• Better balance in her overall facial contour
• A treatment option compatible with a busy work schedule

Early Results: Five Days After Treatment

The after-treatment photographs were taken five days after the procedure.

Compared with her pre-treatment appearance, the patient’s chin tip appeared slimmer and more defined. The improvement in chin contour also contributed to a more refined lower-face appearance.

From the side, the chin showed more appropriate forward projection. This helped create a more balanced relationship between the chin and mouth area, resulting in a smoother and more harmonious profile.

Is This Treatment Suitable for Medical Tourists?

Point V Chin Tip Correction may be an option for medical tourists who are considering chin contouring but have limited time available for recovery. It can be particularly relevant for patients who:

• Are concerned about a wide, short, flat, or blunt-looking chin
• Have previously received chin filler and want to explore another approach
• Are not ready for chin implant surgery
• Want a treatment with minimal downtime
• Would like a more defined front and side profile

A detailed in-person consultation is essential before treatment. The doctor will evaluate facial structure, existing filler or previous procedures, skin condition, and the patient’s aesthetic goals before recommending an appropriate plan.

Important Considerations

Every patient’s anatomy, treatment plan, healing process, and aesthetic outcome are different. Although this procedure is intended to provide long-lasting contour improvement, results are not guaranteed and may vary from person to person.

International patients should also allow sufficient time in Korea for consultation, treatment, and any recommended follow-up before traveling home.
