1 year post horizontal reduction genioplasty, chin looks bigger and bulkier in portrait view (Photo)

October 25, 2023
Asked By:Considerate318273 in England, United Kingdom

While there has been a significant reduction from the profile view, from the front my chin looks bigger and bulkier, with significant tightness in the chin. Which is causing me some distress and discomfort.

Question about procedure for weak chin/jawline (Photo)
Timothy Osborn, MD says:
