Richard P. Rand, MD answers: Chin reduction while wearing braces?

I would like to receive a chin reduction but I would like to know, is it possible while I have braces?

Chin reduction is not as simple as chin augmentation.  As long as you have braces on, the lips have more prominence so I would wait until they are off before attempting anything.  I would also make sure your doctor has done this often and can show you lots of pictures of their own patients with nice results.
