Asked By:Loving567050 in Methley, England, United Kingdom
I am 33 years old, very healthy and fit (high functional fitness and body building type weight traininf 3-4 times a week. I am currently 61kg at 5'2 with a low body fat percentage, no more than 20% at present. I have always struggled with a round face, even when my body weight is low. I have to fight to stay tiny to be happy with the shape of my face and am undergoing surgery in a few weeks to have my implants changed after 10 years. I'm so tempted to ask the surgeon if they would consider chin lipo at the same time so i can just get it out of the way in the same procedure! Would i be a good candidate for chin lipo?

There are 2 types of chin reduction. Bony and soft tissue. If it is bony then a genioplasty can reduce it. If it is loose redundant bone tissue then a soft tissue chin reduction will help. See a doctor to figure out the correct diagnosis.

Chin soft tissue that can make a chin loose and almost sticking out as a Witch's Chin can be reduced. The approach is an incision under the chin and removing some fat and chin muscle (Mentalis) and a small amount of skin under the chin.
