I consulted here quite a while ago, and honestly, based on the blog posts too, I think the director's opinion about proportions is the correct one. But after following the reviews for almost two years, I do see posts saying it looks long, it looks masculine, it was overdone, and I think those things are unavoidable. It becomes too long. This director aims for a 1:1:1 ratio of upper, middle, and lower face, and I honestly think that is correct. But I also think it is somewhat theoretical. The reason is: First, the chin tip is generally the narrowest part of the face from the front. If you cut that part and move it forward, I think it is unavoidable that the width of the chin tip looks a little narrower from the front. When it is attached to a wider area, it is not noticeable, but if you bring that narrow part forward, the narrowness becomes more obvious. In reality, the contour line also becomes narrower. It is less narrow than a typical silicone chin implant, and in some cases, if only a small amount is advanced, there even seems to be an optical illusion that makes the chin tip look wider. But if you advance the chin tip all the way to the so-called Ricketts line, then the front chin seems to get narrower both visually and physically. If you have two men who are both 180 cm tall, and one weighs 50 kg while the other weighs 100 kg, who will look longer? The 50 kg person, whose width is narrower, will look longer in relative proportion. As I said above, because the width of the front chin gets narrower, it ends up looking longer than it really is. And women even undergo T-shaped osteotomy, so it ends up looking like Tutankhamun's mask. That's because the width of the front chin gets even smaller. Second, and this is only a guess, but in this hospital, when only the chin is advanced, it seems they advance the chin tip enough to resolve the shadow between the chin and the lips. If they do that, it cannot help looking narrower and the chin tip seems to come out a lot. Since a narrow area is advanced a lot, the frontal contour line has no choice but to get narrower. Moreover, in patients who are candidates for double-cut osteotomy, the chin tip that comes forward will come out with an even narrower width, so it seems even more unnatural. And if they really advance it a lot to solve the shadow, you might feel that the chin tip is too prominent. Also, the fact that the chin tip width gets smaller is not because the director cannot operate well, but because their aesthetic standard is high and our face cannot keep up with it. And I think it is a problem with chin advancement surgery itself. Celebrities have very small head sizes in absolute terms. In many cases, the distance between the eyes and eyebrows is also short, so the middle-third proportion of the face is not long. So even if you match the face to a 1:1:1 ratio, the face does not look that big, and in reality it is not big either. On top of that, the proportions are right, so it looks prettier. But ordinary people have big heads, and since the distance between the eyes and eyebrows is often large, the middle-third proportion of the face is also large. However, the length of the middle third is not something surgery can adjust, so if you force a 1:1:1 ratio to fit that long middle-third proportion, the absolute facial length becomes too long. And since the chin width gets even narrower, it will look even longer. In particular, when the middle third is long, you have to be careful not to make mistakes about the claim that you need to increase the vertical length of the chin tip to make the face look smaller. Even though the middle third can look long for many different reasons, I think one of the most important factors in the 1:1:1 ratio is the distance between the eyes and eyebrows and the length of the nose. For someone with an average head size, if the distance between the eyes and eyebrows and the nose length are proportionally long compared with the vertical lengths of the other areas, I think matching a 1:1:1 ratio will make the face look extremely long. And although looking relatively smaller is important, we are not living through facial photos, so absolute size and length seem important too. From the reviews and review photos, what I feel is that to succeed at this hospital, especially for chin-tip surgery: 1. The face has to be quite small. 2. The midface has to be short (the distance between the eyes is close, or if it is wide, the nose is short). 3. Before surgery, the chin tip width should be somewhat wide. 4. You should like a slim, delicate chin-tip look. If you have those factors, I think the director's aesthetic standard and your features will work in synergy and the result will be a success.
