How can I get rid of my pointy chin? (Photo)

Question

Hi There, I am 21 years old, with a pointy chin and pointy nose. My main concern is how to just round off my pointy chin just a little bit. What would be the most "minimal" kind of treatment or operation. (Less intense or perhaps non-invasive) Also, would a tip plasty be a good option too? Thank you!

Thank you for your pictures.  There are several ways to diminish the appearance of your chin.  Reducing the chin is one way.  A personal consultation would go a long way to getting the most appropriate treatment for you.

The best approach to rounding off a pointy chin is a submental chin reduction approach. The chin point can be burred down to round and any excess skin and soft tissue simultaneously removed.

William Portuese, MD · Answer

A full set of photographs are required at rest, not smiling to determine the projection of the chin. To only add width to the chin would require insertion of a Mittleman  pre-jowl implant. This is a specific style chin implant that only adds with, not projection. the insertion of this implant can be performed under local anesthesia as an outpatient procedure which takes approximately 30 minutes. For many examples of chin implants, diagrams and more information, please see the video and the link below
