Chin reduction is a very common procedure in cosmetic chin surgery. The reduction genioplasty allows a better harmony between the chin and the rest of the face and thus improves the profile. The procedure does not affect the dental articulation or the cheeks. It is possible to reduce the width and thickness of the jaw in the same operation to obtain a less square face.

The dangers of chin reduction are rare but should be mentioned:
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia. It normally takes between one and one and a half hours depending on the complexity of the surgery. The surgeon makes an incision in the mouth in the lower gum line and reshapes the chin bone by milling it. A garment or facial support bandage will be placed over the chin and jaw at the end of the surgery to help control postoperative swelling.
This procedure leaves no external scar and the results are very satisfactory. The procedure can be done on an outpatient basis with discharge the same day or in a traditional hospital and discharge the next day.
It is recommended to eat cold and liquid food during 48 hours, the time of healing inside the mouth.
The results of the chin reduction can be appreciated from one month after the operation.
Chin reduction is usually performed in conjunction with rhinoplasty or liposuction of the neck to create a permanent and complete V-shaped face.
