After years of feeling self-conscious about facial asymmetry caused by a misaligned jaw, Olivia finally decided to undergo bimaxillary orthognathic surgery combined with chin augmentation at Kangnam Aesthetic Hospital. Her procedure was performed by Dr. Vu Huu Chinh (Dr. Victor Vu), Head of the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Kangnam Aesthetic Hospital, Hanoi.

From an early age, Olivia noticed that her face lacked symmetry compared with those around her. Viewed from the front, her jaw appeared noticeably asymmetrical, affecting the overall balance of her facial features. From the side, a short, retrusive chin further reduced facial definition and weakened her profile.
After years of research, Olivia realized that conditions involving the jawbone structure require evaluation by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon rather than treatment with conventional cosmetic procedures alone.
For this reason, she chose Kangnam Aesthetic Hospital—one of Vietnam’s leading centers for complex orthognathic and facial skeletal surgery, trusted by domestic patients, overseas Vietnamese, and international patients alike. With an experienced surgical team and advanced medical technology, Kangnam provides personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique facial anatomy.
At Kangnam, Olivia underwent a comprehensive evaluation by Dr. Vu Huu Chinh (Dr. Victor Vu), including CT imaging, occlusal analysis, and a detailed assessment of her maxillofacial skeletal structure.
The examination revealed that her facial imbalance resulted from a combination of jaw asymmetry and a retrusive chin. Dr. Victor Vũ determined that achieving optimal facial harmony would require simultaneous correction of both the upper and lower jaws, together with chin augmentation.
After carefully discussing Olivia’s aesthetic goals and functional concerns, he developed a personalized treatment plan consisting of:
According to Olivia, one of the aspects she appreciated most was the time Dr. Victor Vu spent explaining her skeletal anatomy, detailing each stage of the surgical procedure, and discussing the realistic changes that could be achieved. Every treatment recommendation was based on her individual clinical findings rather than a standardized surgical approach.
Following surgery, Olivia was closely monitored by the medical and nursing team throughout her recovery.
During the first postoperative days, she experienced expected swelling in the jaw region, which is a normal part of the healing process. She received detailed instructions regarding dietary modifications, oral hygiene, and scheduled follow-up appointments to support optimal healing.
As recovery progressed, the swelling gradually subsided, allowing her new facial contours to become increasingly visible. Her jaws appeared more symmetrical, while the augmented chin enhanced facial projection and created a more balanced, refined side profile.
According to Olivia, the most satisfying aspect of her transformation was how natural the results appeared. Family members commented that she looked more elegant and refreshed while still retaining her unique facial characteristics.
At Kangnam Aesthetic Hospital, every patient undergoes a comprehensive evaluation by a specialist before surgery, including diagnostic imaging, skeletal analysis, occlusal assessment, and the development of an individualized surgical treatment plan.
Complex orthognathic procedures are performed by experienced surgeons such as Dr. Victor Vu, supported by modern operating rooms, standardized sterile surgical protocols, advanced anesthesia systems, and comprehensive postoperative care programs. These measures help ensure patient safety and provide continuous support throughout treatment and recovery.
Through years of clinical experience and a strong reputation in facial skeletal surgery, Kangnam Aesthetic Hospital has become a trusted destination for domestic patients, overseas Vietnamese, and international patients seeking orthognathic surgery and facial contouring procedures in Vietnam.
Important Note: Surgical outcomes vary depending on each patient’s preoperative jaw anatomy, biological healing response, and adherence to postoperative care instructions.
