Point V Chin Correction: A Non-Surgical Approach to a Slimmer Chin Line

At Haru Clinic, we understand that many international patients are looking for refined facial contouring options with minimal disruption to their travel schedule. In this case story, we introduce Point V Chin Correction, a thread-based procedure designed to improve the appearance of a wide, flat, blunt, or asymmetric chin.

This treatment uses specialized semi-permanent threads to help create a more defined, balanced V-line without bone surgery.

Patient Concerns

The patient visited our clinic with several aesthetic concerns, including:

• A chin that appeared wide, blunt, and asymmetric
• A flat-looking central chin area
• Hollowing beneath the eyes, creating a tired appearance
• Previously treated lips that appeared uneven, under-volumized, and less natural than desired

During consultation, we discussed a tailored treatment plan based on the patient’s facial proportions and goals.

Personalized Treatment Plan

For the under-eye hollows and lips, filler treatment was selected to restore smoother volume and improve balance.

However, filler alone was not considered the ideal option for the chin. Adding volume to the center of the chin can make some patients’ chins appear longer or more projected—especially when the outer chin area is naturally wide or angular.

For this reason, Point V Chin Correction was recommended to help narrow the lateral chin area and create a slimmer contour without adding excessive projection.

Areas Addressed

The treatment plan focused on the following areas:

• Under-eye area: Hollowing that contributed to a tired appearance
• Lips: Uneven volume, asymmetry, and inward rolling at the outer lip areas
• Central chin: A flat and blunt appearance caused by insufficient projection and definition
• Outer chin line: Width, angularity, and asymmetry along both sides of the chin

Results at Two Weeks

The post-treatment photos were taken approximately two weeks after the procedure.

The under-eye area appeared smoother and more refreshed, while the lips looked fuller, more even, and better balanced. The chin contour also appeared narrower and more symmetrical, with a softer and more refined V-line shape.

The patient shared that she had previously considered jaw or chin bone surgery due to concerns about the width and shape of her chin. She was pleased to see improvement through a relatively simple procedure with minimal visible bruising and swelling in her individual case.

Why Point V Chin Correction May Be Considered

Point V Chin Correction may be an option for patients who would like to improve the appearance of a broad or angular chin without undergoing bone contouring surgery.

Potential benefits may include:

• A slimmer-looking lower-face contour
• Improvement in the appearance of chin width and asymmetry
• A more defined V-line without substantially lengthening the chin
• A procedure-based alternative for patients who are not ready for surgical bone contouring
• Semi-permanent thread material designed for longer-lasting structural support compared with temporary filler alone

Unlike filler, which primarily adds volume, this technique is intended to address the appearance of width along the outer chin line.

Important Considerations for International Patients

Point V Chin Correction does not reduce the actual size of the chin bone. For patients with very prominent, large, or significantly asymmetric bone structure, the visible improvement may be limited and surgical options may be more appropriate.

A thorough in-person consultation is essential to determine whether this procedure is suitable for your facial anatomy, aesthetic goals, medical history, and travel schedule.

Treatment outcomes, recovery time, bruising, swelling, and longevity vary from person to person. Our medical team can provide individualized guidance regarding post-procedure care and recommended time in Korea before flying home.

Planning Your Treatment at Haru Clinic

For medical tourists, we recommend arranging a consultation early in your visit so that your treatment plan can be carefully assessed and coordinated. Depending on your needs, facial contouring treatment may be combined with other non-surgical procedures, such as under-eye or lip filler, when medically appropriate.
