Protruding mouth (bimaxillary protrusion) surgery in Seoul
Bimaxillary protrusion means the lips, gums and teeth sit further forward than normal. It can make the mouth hard to close comfortably and change the profile.
- Type 1Anterior segmental osteotomy: moves the front teeth and gum bone backward as one piece
- Type 2Protrusion surgery plus genioplasty, when a receding chin is also present
- Type 3Protrusion surgery plus upper-jaw work (multi-piece technique) for gum display or jaw angle
The story
Looking for a mouth profile that closes comfortably and sits in balance?
A protruding mouth can make the lips sit further forward than the line from nose tip to chin tip. Closing the mouth may feel effortful, and the expression can look stiff.
Not every protruding mouth has the same cause. Pascal uses digital analysis to tell apart cases where only the teeth protrude from cases where the gum bone itself protrudes, and then chooses the surgical method for your profile.
Depending on the cause, the plan may include moving the front teeth and gum bone backward, adding chin surgery when the chin recedes, or working on the upper jaw. Your surgeon explains which approach fits your face at the exam.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is this only about the teeth?
No. Some cases involve only teeth, and others involve the gum bone itself. Digital analysis separates them, and the method differs.
Can the chin be treated at the same time?
Yes. Type 2 combines protrusion surgery with genioplasty for patients who also have a receding chin.
