Point V Chin Correction: A Non-Surgical Option for a Slimmer Chin Contour

A refined chin tip can help create a more balanced lower facial contour. At Haru Clinic, our Point V Chin Correction is designed for patients who feel that their chin appears broad, blunt, or uneven.

This minimally invasive treatment uses specialized semi-permanent threads to help shape the chin tip and improve the transition from the jawline to the chin. It may be a suitable option for international patients seeking a non-surgical approach with limited downtime.

Patient Concern: A Wide Chin Tip After Implant Removal

In this case, the patient had previously received a chin implant but later underwent implant removal because she was unhappy with the result.

Following removal of the implant, stretching of the skin and soft tissue contributed to several concerns:

• A chin tip that appeared broad
• An uneven contour extending from the cheeks toward the chin
• Noticeable asymmetry, with one side of the chin appearing more prominent
• Dissatisfaction with previous filler treatments

The patient had tried chin filler on several occasions. However, while filler can add volume or projection in selected cases, it generally cannot reduce the appearance of a widened chin tip. She was therefore looking for a treatment focused on refining the chin shape rather than adding volume.

Treatment Approach: Point V Chin Correction

For this patient, Haru Clinic performed Point V Chin Correction using specialized threads.

The treatment was planned to address the soft-tissue-related width of the chin tip and improve the overall lower-face contour. Because the concern was primarily related to stretched skin and soft tissue, chin bone shaving alone may not have provided the desired degree of refinement.

Thread-based correction allowed the clinic to focus on:

• Creating a narrower, more defined chin-tip appearance
• Smoothing the contour from the cheek and jaw area toward the chin
• Improving the appearance of chin asymmetry
• Enhancing lower-face balance without chin bone surgery

One-Week Follow-Up Results

At the patient’s one-week follow-up visit, the chin tip appeared slimmer and more refined compared with the pre-treatment condition.

The previously uneven lower-face contour showed a smoother transition, and the visible asymmetry had improved. Individual results vary depending on factors such as skin quality, facial anatomy, previous procedures, and healing response.

Who May Consider This Treatment?

Point V Chin Tip Correction may be considered by patients who:

• Feel that their chin tip looks wide or blunt
• Have uneven contours around the lower face
• Are concerned about mild chin asymmetry
• Previously had a chin implant removed
• Have not had prior chin treatment but would like a more tapered chin shape
• Prefer a non-surgical treatment option over bone contouring surgery

A personalized consultation is essential to determine whether thread-based chin correction is appropriate. During consultation, the medical team can evaluate facial proportions, skin and soft-tissue condition, prior surgical history, and the patient’s aesthetic goals.

Planning Your Treatment as an International Patient

For medical tourists, it is especially important to share details of any previous facial procedures, including chin implants, fillers, thread treatments, or jaw surgery. This information helps the clinic develop a safer and more individualized treatment plan.

Patients should also allow adequate time in Korea for consultation, treatment, and any recommended follow-up appointment before traveling home. Recovery needs and post-treatment instructions can vary from person to person.
