What is chin reduction surgery?
Some people's chin is too big and does not fit with the rest of their facial features. Chin reduction surgery is a cosmetic surgery that can restore the fit and beauty of the face by modifying the bone and other structural tissues of the chin. This method does not require any facial implants and the results should appear natural in every way. Also, chin reduction surgery can provide a more harmonious balance and proportion between the nose and the chin. If it is needed, the surgeon recommends this surgery along with nose job and facelift surgery to make the final element in creating an elegant, beautiful appearance. Both plastic surgeons and maxillofacial surgeons (surgeons working on the mouth and jaw) can perform the chin reduction surgery.
The surgeon will take the patient's medical history. Precise facial mapping is performed before chin reduction surgery to ensure optimal results. Patients should not eat or drink for 12 hours before surgery. They should not smoke for 2 weeks before surgery. Aspirin, as well as any aspirin-containing medications, are banned from two weeks before surgery.
