Chin pad reduction? What can be done about an overly prominent chin pad? (photo)

A prominent chin is usually improved by changing the bone and soft tissue. The bone can be shaved or a small wafer of bone can be removed and the chin setback. The soft tissue pad is either reduced and "tucked" under the chin or if the approach was from inside the soft tissue pad can be elevated to re-create a mentolabial fold. 

Hello, thank you for your question. It seems like you can benefit from a chin liposuction and necktite is suited to tighten the jaw line and neck area. I recommend you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.

We do a large amount of chin surgery and it is done by going through the inside of the mouth to contour the soft tissue and bone as necessary.  We'd certainly need to see you in  person to determine the best course of action. The video below has more information however.

Watch the video link below to see the details of how to reduce a long 'witch's chin' type deformity and improve the profile as well. Fillers are not the answer. RegardsDr.J

to get a proper result you’re most likely need skeletal surgery and soft tissue manipulation.It’s a bit involved but definitely doable. You may find oral surgeons to have more experience with this procedure than some plastic surgeons. Consider looking for plastic surgeons who have done cranial facial fellowships.This is complex enough that you should have in person consultations.You may have to call around a bit before finding the right provider. Make sure you find someone who does this on a regular basis.Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
