What Is a Wide Chin?

A wide chin, also known as broad chin or broad mandible, is when the chin appears too wide or square-shaped, often giving the lower face a masculine or bulky appearance. This condition can make the face look unbalanced, boxy, or heavy, especially from the front view.

Key characteristics of a wide chin include:

• A flat or square-shaped chin
• A chin that extends beyond the natural jawline
• A broad or “U-shaped” jawline
• Less defined or blurry V-line profile
• The face appears wider and shorter than desired

What Is Wide Chin Reduction Surgery?

Wide Chin Reduction Surgery is a bone contouring procedure that reshapes the chin to create a slimmer, more refined profile. At Seoul Cheil Plastic Surgery, this surgery is performed with precision and care to achieve a natural, feminine, or balanced look.

The procedure involves:

• Making an intraoral incision (inside the mouth) for no visible scars
• Trimming and reshaping the chin’s width by shaving or cutting the excess bone
• Adjusting the chin angle and projection as needed
• Smoothing the chin contours for a natural transition to the jawline
• Surgery time: approximately 1 to 1.5 hours under general anesthesia
• Titanium plates and screws used to secure the new bone position

Why Combine With Other Procedures?

A wide chin is often part of an overall broad or angular lower face. For the best results, wide chin reduction surgery is frequently combined with:

• Square jaw reduction for a slimmer, more tapered jawline
• Genioplasty for projection adjustments
• Buccal fat removal for slimmer cheeks
• Cheekbone reduction for balanced facial width

This holistic approach ensures a proportionate, harmonious, and naturally contoured look.

Key Characteristics of a Wide Chin

• A chin that appears flat, broad, or square
• Lack of taper or definition at the chin tip
• A face that looks bottom-heavy or masculine
• A “U-shaped” jawline instead of a V-line
• Disproportionate width in the lower face
• The chin may seem too large in frontal photos

Can Fillers or Botox Fix a Wide Chin?

Fillers can add volume but cannot reduce bone width.
Botox can slim the masseter muscles but won’t change the chin bone’s shape.
For true bony width issues, chin reduction surgery is the only permanent solution.
