Amelia came to Kangnam Aesthetic Hospital seeking treatment for jaw asymmetry and a retruded chin, which made her face appear unbalanced and affected her self-confidence. After a comprehensive evaluation by Dr. Victor Vu (Vu Huu Chinh), Head of the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, she underwent double jaw surgery (maxillary and mandibular osteotomy) combined with chin augmentation to achieve a more harmonious facial profile.

For many years, Amelia believed her face looked unbalanced because she was too thin or simply hadn’t found the right makeup techniques. It wasn’t until friends pointed it out and she researched further that she realized the underlying cause was her jaw structure.
Her jaw asymmetry caused facial imbalance when viewed from the front, while her retruded chin reduced projection and definition in profile. Despite trying different hairstyles and makeup techniques, these structural concerns could not be corrected cosmetically.
Amelia realized that her concerns were not merely aesthetic but required evaluation by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon.
After reviewing numerous successful jaw surgery cases at Kangnam and reading positive feedback from domestic patients, overseas Vietnamese, and international patients, she decided to visit the hospital for a professional consultation.
During her initial consultation, Dr. Victor Vu performed a comprehensive clinical examination, evaluated her occlusion, and ordered CT imaging to accurately assess her craniofacial anatomy.
Based on the examination results, Dr. Vu determined that Amelia’s facial imbalance resulted from the combination of jaw asymmetry and a retruded chin. Correcting only the chin or addressing a single jaw would not provide balanced facial proportions.
After discussing Amelia’s aesthetic goals, he developed an individualized surgical treatment plan consisting of:
Following surgery, Amelia was closely monitored by Kangnam’s surgeons and nursing staff throughout every stage of recovery.
She attended scheduled follow-up appointments and received detailed postoperative instructions regarding nutrition, oral hygiene, and wound care to promote proper healing.
As postoperative swelling gradually subsided, her facial contours became increasingly defined. Her jawline appeared more symmetrical, while the enhanced chin projection created a softer, more balanced profile and added facial definition.
Orthognathic surgery is one of the most technically demanding procedures in oral and maxillofacial surgery, requiring extensive surgical expertise, accurate diagnostic imaging, and standardized operative protocols.
At Kangnam Aesthetic Hospital, every patient undergoes comprehensive evaluation, including CT scanning, skeletal analysis, and individualized treatment planning before surgery.
These procedures are performed directly by Dr. Victor Vu, Head of the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, supported by experienced anesthesiologists, surgical nurses, and a multidisciplinary medical team. Modern operating rooms, advanced surgical equipment, and structured postoperative care protocols help maximize patient safety throughout treatment.
Beyond improving facial appearance, Kangnam also focuses on restoring facial skeletal balance and functional occlusion, aiming to achieve natural-looking, long-lasting outcomes tailored to each patient’s anatomy.
With thousands of orthognathic procedures performed annually and the trust of patients from Vietnam and around the world, Kangnam has established itself as one of Vietnam’s leading centers for oral and maxillofacial surgery.
Note: Surgical outcomes vary depending on each patient’s skeletal anatomy, biological healing response, and adherence to postoperative care instructions.
