Hi...was wondering if I could get a chin reduction of the soft tissue chin pad only with no bone removal...my bone is fine. I just have a lot of chin pad..looks like a ball on the end of my chin...I hate my profile and I will never take pics because of this...but I don't want to change my smile...how does this surgery work in order to receive good results? And what about Lipo or botox? Also can anyone recommend a Dr. With this experience? I live in east Tennessee. Thanks so much!
