Chin Reduction Surgery at Light Plastic Surgery Clinic

An overly prominent or elongated chin can disrupt facial harmony and make other features appear disproportionate. Chin reduction surgery, also known as genioplasty or mentoplasty, is a specialized procedure designed to sculpt and reshape the chin, resulting in a more balanced, refined facial profile.

At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic, our expert surgeons combine advanced techniques with a personalized approach to deliver natural-looking results that enhance your overall facial balance and confidence.


Why Choose Chin Reduction Surgery?

Patients consider chin reduction surgery for a variety of aesthetic concerns, including:

  • Reducing a protruding or overly large chin
  • Improving overall facial balance and symmetry
  • Correcting chin asymmetry or irregular contour
  • Enhancing jawline definition and profile
  • Achieving a softer, more harmonious appearance

Our focus is on helping you attain subtle, proportional results that complement your natural facial features.


Customized Approach to Your Chin Reduction Surgery

At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic, we understand that each patient’s facial structure is unique. Our surgeons develop a tailored surgical plan to suit your individual anatomy and aesthetic goals.

Techniques Used in Chin Reduction:

  • Bone Contouring (Osteotomy): Excess bone is reshaped or removed to reduce chin prominence.
  • Burring or Filing: Fine adjustments are made to smooth and contour the chin bone for optimal results.
  • Combination Procedures: In some cases, chin reduction may be combined with other facial contouring surgeries for enhanced overall balance.

We will carefully evaluate your facial proportions and recommend the best surgical strategy during your consultation.


Consultation and Planning

Your journey at Light Plastic Surgery Clinic begins with an in-depth consultation to fully understand your concerns and desired outcomes.

During your consultation, we will:

  • Assess your facial profile and chin structure
  • Discuss your goals and realistic expectations
  • Explain the most appropriate surgical techniques for your case
  • Show before-and-after photos of similar patient results
  • Answer any questions about the procedure, risks, and recovery process

Our commitment is to ensure that you are well-informed and confident in your decision.


The Procedure: What to Expect

Chin reduction surgery is performed under general anesthesia and is typically completed as an outpatient procedure.

Surgical Steps:

  1. Incision Placement: Usually made inside the mouth (intraoral approach) to avoid visible scarring.
  2. Bone Reduction: The surgeon carefully removes or reshapes excess bone to reduce the chin’s projection and contour.
  3. Closure: The incisions are closed with dissolvable sutures, and a supportive dressing may be applied.

The surgery generally takes 1 to 2 hours, and patients return home the same day with post-operative care instructions.


Recovery and Aftercare

Some swelling, bruising, and temporary numbness are normal after chin reduction surgery. These typically resolve within a few weeks.

You will be advised to:

  • Keep your head elevated to minimize swelling
  • Eat soft foods for several days if intraoral incisions are used
  • Avoid strenuous activity and heavy lifting for 4–6 weeks
  • Follow all personalized aftercare instructions provided by our team
  • Attend scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor healing

Results will become more visible as swelling subsides, typically within a few weeks after surgery.


Natural and Lasting Results

Chin reduction surgery provides a permanent improvement to facial harmony and balance. Our surgeons are dedicated to delivering results that look natural, refined, and in proportion with the rest of your facial features.

With proper care and stable weight, the results of chin reduction surgery can be long-lasting and life-enhancing.
