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

C2322Apr 3, 2022
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.

What type of surgeon would I be looking for (since it is not a common procedure)?
