What chin procedure is best suited for me to reduce and modify my chin? What is the average cost? (Photo)

Question

I'm very frustrated with the aesthetic of my chin. It is fleshy and protrudes too much. I saw a case study of a Submental Excision/Tuck for Hyperdynamic Chin Pad Excess and it seemed like the right procedure for me. However, I have seen other content that suggests genioplasty is best to correct my chin. Please provide me with any feedback you have on this question. I would like to get the procedure as soon as possible because my chin bothers me so much!

Michael P. Morrissette, DDS, FACS · Answer

Both the solutions that you mentioned would improve the aesthetics of your chin. Sometimes I will perform a genioplasty alone. In other cases, the chin tuck is necessary to reduce the chin pad. The problem of a deep mentolabial fold is usually associated with a short chin. I would recommend a CT scan to measure the length of your chin.

I understand that you do not like the appearance of your chin, however, in our opinion, chin reduction surgery can lead to excessive droopiness of neck skin. Thank you for your question. Sincerely, Dr Joseph
