I really don't like my side profile. My chin sticks out and when I smile it sticks out weirdly even more. What can I do? (Photo)

Question

I'm not sure what procedure this would fit in, but i would like to permanently remove the way it jabs out.

Hi from Istanbul, thank you for sharing this. You could benefit from chin reduction surgery. This procedure typically involves removing a segment of bone from the chin and then securing it with titanium plates to achieve a more balanced appearance. Best of luck on your journey!

Hello, hope you are well. Thank you for your photos and question! This is very likely caused by underlying bone that is over-projected. Chin reduction surgery can be performed to reshape the chin bone to make it appear less prominent. (The bone is re-shaped by shaving it down without the need for sawing it or placing plates or screws). I perform this technique with a minimally invasive approach under general anesthesia through a small incision inside the mouth. The risk and downtime are minimized, and the results are very consistent. Hope this helps!
Best,Dr. Tower
