Chin Reduction
in Orlando, FL

Benefits of Chin Reduction Surgery

Chin reductions can improve a person's overall appearance and increase their self-esteem. Altering the chin can also create a proportionate facial balance between the nose and chin. It is possible to combine a chin reduction with a facelift or rhinoplasty to create a refined look.

Chin Reduction Surgery Procedure

A chin reduction surgery is a cosmetic procedure that aims to make the face more symmetrical, creating a better-looking profile. A chin that extends too far from the face or is too large can affect how the other features of the face appear. Chin reduction surgery produces a well-defined chin that adds balance and compliments the contours and size of the other facial features.

During the surgery, Dr. Peters will make incisions in the underside of the chin or a small inconspicuous incision under the chin. Similar to a chin augmentation surgery, a chin reduction has very little or no post-surgery scarring. The minimal amounts of scarring are due to the hidden incision placement.

Through the incisions, Dr. Peters removes and reshapes the chin's bone structure to create a more symmetrical face. Another benefit of a chin reduction is the added confidence patients’ gain by improving their appearance. If further definition is necessary, he may use liposuction to contour the neck and chin.

Associated Chin Reduction Procedures

For a dramatic change to your facial features, Dr. Peters may suggest combining the chin reduction with another cosmetic procedure such as rhinoplasty. Rhinoplasty and chin reduction surgery complement each other with regard to the balance and proportion of the facial features. At your consultation, ask Dr. Peters about the other procedures that can help enhance your face. Blepharoplasty, brow lift and a facelift are examples of these procedures that can complement a chin reduction.

Chin Reduction Recovery

Patients will need 10 days to recover. Physical activity should be restricted for six weeks to prevent any injury to the chin and allow proper healing. You may also experience some swelling for several weeks following the procedure.

It is also advised that you limit how often you chew. Try to consume soft foods and liquids while you recover.
