Hello, I am having a chin reduction to correct a over-projected chin. There isn't a lot of information on RealSelf or the internet about this procedure. What should I expect post-op? Also, can a chin reduction eliminate the prominent cleft in my chin? Thank you.

Answer: Chin Reduction Surgery can be customized Chin reduction surgery is performed through a small incision under the chin in the groove just above the neck called the sub-mental crease. The skin and muscle are lifted and the bone is sculpted and made smaller with a polishing bur. The recovery takes usually 10 days, with residual swelling after. If the chin cleft was related to the chin bone shape, this can be changed with this surgery.

Answer: Chin reduction surgery There are many different techniques to diminish the size of the chin, Depending on the techniques used, recovery recommendations may differ. In some instances the bone is burred down. In others the bone is cut and a wedge like section is removed requiring a plate and greater post-operative restrictions.
