How to fix my chin / labiomental groove? (Photo)

Question

Chin sticks out, want it fixed. Surgeon said the chin (bones) is in right proportion to my face, and the part sticking out is only fat, and that the problem is really not the chin itself but the labiomental groove being deep and it's hard to fix. She said she could make an incision under the chin and liposuction / remove a little bit fat from the chin / remove excess skin but warned me that my submental space is kinda short and it might end up giving me a receding chin type look. Opinions?

We can reduce the chin, remove some of the soft tissue, and overall shrink the chin. There are certainly limitations to the extent of what can be achieved.  Watch our videos to learn more.

Making a quality assessment for issues related to the mandible can be pretty difficult and fairly complex.
I find oral surgeons to be better at assessing facial, skeletal structure than plastic surgeons, and they do more work for this type of condition.
Consult with a few oral surgeons in your community and see what they have to say.
It sounds like your previous provider you consulted with has never done this procedure and you definitely don’t want to be the first.
You’ll be in the hands of the right provider when they can show you a collection of before, and after pictures that is thicker than a telephone book.
A proper chin reduction has a both skeletal and soft tissue components.
It is not easier straightforward and it should be done by those who have substantial experience with the procedure.
There may be plastic surgeons who’ve done a lot of these but my best guess is oral surgeons will have the upper edge.
 Best,

By the way, I’m at boarded plastic surgeon.
