Cosmetic Chin Surgery

In some people, a small chin - one that recedes or is not prominent enough-can make the nose appear more prominent. Conversely, a large chin or one that protrudes can throw the rest of the face off balance. If the teeth are in proper alignment, some patients can benefit from chin enhancement procedures to reshape the chin.

Chin Reduction

is a procedure that removes excess bone from the chin button. A small incision is made in the fold beneath the chin and a shaping instrument is used to recontour the bone. There will be some bruising, subsiding within the first weeks, and swelling, subsiding within a few weeks. For a short time there may be some discomfort, easily controlled with medication.
