The chin is an important facial feature which contributes significantly to the shape and balance of the face. While some patients may benefit from a chin reduction, others seek to elongate their face with a chin implant, some find that their chins are too large to fit in with their other facial features. By moderately re-shaping the bone and other structural tissues, cosmetic chin reduction surgery can create a more pleasing contour for the face. Chin reduction also helps to make your face younger thereby boosting your confidence.
Treatment for chin and fat reduction: Chin reduction – also known as Mentoplasty is a safe and effective procedure to contour the lower jaw. It requires either trimming and re-sculpting of the chin’s fat pad, or re-shaping of the chin bone itself, and sometimes these two approaches are combined. This procedure is ideal for:
Those looking to contour an abnormally large or prominent chin.
Those wanting to enhance the results obtained from a rhinoplasty.
For 20-year-olds with a chin that has reached developmental maturity.
Those with reasonable expectations for improvement rather than perfection.
