I decided to get a chin reduction on June 13, 2012...
$3,500
I decided to get a chin reduction on June 13, 2012. I am 22 yrs old and ever since i was in middle school, ive been made fun of because i had a broad, extended chin. It took up to a year to fully heal. My experience after surgery wasnt easy. I gone through alot of depression because my chin got huge and swollen. I am happy with my results now, a year later, but i have extra fat on my chin and in my mind, i feel that it is still big but i know its not. Plastic surgery did not give me the confidence i hoped for but i feel better about myself. Now I am deciding on going back to Dr. Mangat and getting possibly cheek lipo, MAYBE chin lipo to get the extra fat off, and stomach liposuction. I dont think i will have enough money to be able to do all of it but its a start!! I feel that my chin still looks long when a camera or someones looking straight at me. :(

Your chin reminds me a lot of mine. I had a reduction when I was 13, but I am going to have another reduction done pretty soon. What type of procedure did you have-- the bone burr or osteotomy? I had the osteotomy procedure, but my muscle sags a little underneath and gives me an odd-looking submental fullness. This will be corrected and the muscle tucked-up during my next chin reduction procedure, and I am also going to have some more of the bone burred off to shorten it more. You don't appear to have any submental fullness which is good! I'm not a plastic surgeon, but just from what I have read, I don't think they usually do lipo on the end of the chin; they just remove more bone. Also chin advancements are far more common apparently easier to do than are chin reductions. And as I have learned, sometimes it takes more than one procedure to get what you want. I personally think your profile looks good and the length is fine. It'd be up to you if you wanted more reduced. Even if you didn't, I still think your profile looks nice :)

Not worth $3500
I'm not happy with my results. It is better than my chin before but I want more done to it but dr mangat said there is nothing he can do though other surgeons told me there is more that needs to be done. I am upset and hurt. I was planning on getting lipo done through their group plus other things to get done but I decided to go find someone else. I went in the other day and talked to him about lipo but I felt like everyone there was pushing me to go with cool sculpting which I don't want because I want more fat off that will be a guarantee. And I felt that my doctor didnt take the time to sit and talk with me. I felt rushed. Again I am very upset. I had high hopes set with them.

I'm sorry to hear how you were feeling. :( If you go for other consults and find other options for your chin please keep us updated. Sending hugs your way!

Dogblondie....I understand how you feel, I am 60 years old and only recently realized how big, long and square my chin is! But I wanted to tell you, hon, you do not need to go under the knife anymore, because you are truly beautiful and everything on your face looks in proportion. I do not look at your photo and think, "ooh...ugly chin," I look at your photo and think, "what a pretty girl!" None of us are perfect, but you are closer to perfect than most and should be proud of your looks. Honest!

I also desperately want a chin reduction im sick of people talking about it I can't even afford to get one so ur lucky. So im going to have to live with it! :(

Wow I was shocked when I read that you took 1 year to fully heal, then I saw the 'before' photo, and yes you're right your chin was really long and broad. I see a significant improvement in your 'after' photo in the pink shirt, but it's hard to compare with different angles. I think u shouldn't worry anymore about it, there's limits to how much surgery can help us. After a while, u get diminishing returns.
All the best, I think u look very nice

hey girl, first of all - you are beautiful, and your new chin does look more proportional to your face. Just smile and remember that guys don't judge us nearly as harshly as we judge ourselves! No one hones in on our own flaws like we do, believe me.
With that said, for you or anyone else reading this - DO NOT GET COOL SCULPTING. That procedure is an absolute RIP OFF. It does not work. Surgeons get $ and kick backs from the company that makes the machines for using it. I got it on my tummy and it was $1300 down the drain. I did not see a bit of difference. I ended up getting lipo anyway, which WORKS, and I LOVE my result. Best of luck to you. Remember to love yourself and enjoy life wherever you are at!

Chin reduction re-done
So i got my chin re done by a different surgeon and he is amazing! My chin looks so much better! My previous surgeon told me he couldnt take any more bone off which was a lie bc my current surgeon took me to an orthodontist and i got an x ray of my face and there was so much done left! My surgery costed me $4,000 but totally worth it!!!! I wore a head piece for 3 weeks and all my swelling went down within 3 months! I have fat on my chin which I want off but that isnt possible. But other than that, Im happy. I have access fat under my chin and on my chin from the reduction but it is MUCH better than what i looked like before.

Who was your 2nd surgeon? I'm in Cincinnati and am looking for a great surgeon but i want the opposite...i don't have much of a chin. You look great!
March 3, 2015
Ok nevermind...i kept reading & know who your 2nd surgeon was. I went for a consult with another dr. in that grouo but when he sent me pics my chin looked HUGE...NO THANKS! i would feel weird going to a different surgeon in the same group...wonder if anyone else has done that...anyway i think he did a great job on yo!u

I really appreciate your posting the pictures in which the change is clearly visible. I've been looking for before and after chin reduction surgery pictures and I keep getting chin implant pictures! Yours are the first useful photos. My chin looks SO much like yours did; if I could get the same result I would be so happy! Thank you for the name of the surgeon. You look beautiful.

You do look great. Question... why can't a doctor remove more tissue from your chin pad? I've heard it's called resection.
Also, I have the same questions as Violett.
Thanks!

Sorry to hear you weren't fully satisfied with how your chin reduction turned out. :-/ I think the proportion of your upper jaw to your lower jaw/lip line looks great from the profile view photos. I know these pictures will be very helpful to others considering chin reduction.
As for getting the cheek lipo, I want to admit flat out that I don't know anything about the procedure or how it works out in the long run, but it does seem that as a lot of us ladies age we start to lose volume in our cheeks and turn to fillers to restore the volume, which can be very expensive to maintain. I think your cheeks look great, and they might naturally lose volume overtime if you are like many of us, so you might be able to save the $ from having lipo there, plus save money in the long run when you don't have to consider fillers!
Well keep us posted with what you find out on the 18th - you know we'll want to hear!! :)
