It really depends upon whether the chin bump is hard or soft.  If you have hard bone there, we will need to remove that bone surgically. I almost always go inside the mouth so there are no exterior scars.However, if the area/lump is soft, it can be addressed differently. You may still need surgery but I may be able to inject a medication to reduce the area.

Such chin asymmetries can only be fixed by surgery. Through a small submental skin incision the longer right side of the chin can be reduced to match that of the left side.
