Chin reduction via burring - which is the method right for me? (photos)

April 3, 2022
Asked By:C2322 in Houston, Texas

My chin is a tad assymytrical and is very pointed and protruded. It’s not noticeable from the front but very noticeable from the side. I would simply want the pointiness to be removed, not a super big change. Would chin burring accomplish this? Could it be done under local anesthesia and how much would it cost?? What type of surgeon would I be looking for (since it is not a common procedure)?

Setting back and contouring your forehead brow bone would open your eyes up a bit and make them look brighter and more feminine. There are other procedures you can consider, but I think this would provide the most feminizing effect for you.
