Chin Reduction Soften your facial appearance

A good candidate for chin reduction

• is healthy, mentally and physically
• has reasonable expectations for improvement rather than perfection
• is looking to contour an abnormally large or prominent chin
• wants to enhance the results obtained from a rhinoplasty
• is at least 20 years of age with a chin that has reached developmental maturity

Overview of the procedure

Chin reduction is performed under general anesthesia and patients can expect to spend roughly 1-3 hours in the operating room.

There are a few different surgical approaches, and the doctor will choose the best one based on your anatomy and desired aesthetic goals. Usually chin reduction is first attempted by creating a small incision at the base of the chin through which soft tissue filling and excess fat can be gently excised. Once the skin is redraped over the chin bone, the area may appear less projected and more proportionate to the rest of the face.

If this method alone does not create adequate transformation, the doctor will refine the chin bone using surgical rasps engineered for this purpose. Bone carving requires greater surgical skill and artistry, but the gains in patient attractiveness are substantial and worthwhile. In all cases, the bone is perfected symmetrically, and the important functional structures of the mouth and lower face are carefully preserved.
