I am 15 year old female who has a cleft chin. I was wondering if I could possibly get fixed before 18? (Photo)

Question

Theda C. Kontis, MD · Answer

I like your cleft chin, and would not rush for treatment. Discuss options with your parents. As a temporary and reversible fix, you might consider a filler that could decrease the depth of the cleft.Having also been a 15 yo female many years ago, I can tell you body perceptions at that age are rough. I would advise you not to have any surgical corrections until you are older, since it may bother you less over time. Surgical corrections for cleft chin are not always perfect--and we have a saying in medicine "the enemy of good is better!"My adivce as a doctor/mother--leave it alone!Good luck to you!
