Chin reduction surgery, also known as genioplasty or mentoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that involves the surgical reshaping and reduction of the chin. It is typically performed to address concerns such as an overly prominent or asymmetrical chin, or to balance the facial features.



Here is a general overview of the procedure:


Anesthesia: Chin reduction surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia, which means that you will be asleep and pain-free throughout the procedure.


Incisions: The surgeon will make an incision either inside your mouth or under your chin, depending on the desired outcome. This allows the surgeon to access the chin bone.


Reshaping the chin bone: The surgeon will then reshape and reduce the chin bone using specialized instruments, such as a saw or drill. This is done carefully to ensure that the chin remains in proportion to the rest of the face.


Closing the incision: Once the chin has been reshaped, the surgeon will close the incision with sutures.


Recovery: After the surgery, you will need to rest and avoid strenuous activity for several days. You may also experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with pain medication and cold compresses.


It's important to note that chin reduction surgery carries some risks and potential complications, such as bleeding, infection, and nerve damage. It's important to discuss these risks with your surgeon before deciding to undergo the procedure.


Additionally, it's important to choose a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon to perform your chin reduction surgery to ensure the best possible outcome.
