Chin reduction - is it safer with cutting the bone or shaving? (Photo)

Significant chin reduction regardless of the way it is done, may result in chin soft tissue ptosis. However, only on the basis of in person evaluation, an experienced, board certified plastic surgeon familiar with this procedure, will be able to answer your questions in more detail. Good luck.

I do different methods. In general there is limited advantage to adding metal plates and screws with a reduction. The key to getting it right is having done a lot of these (we do 3 to 4 each week). Contouring the bone and soft tissue are both important for the right result.
