Round chin to flat chin?

Question

Is it possible to change chin shape? From round chin to flat/straight chin (from a profile view). Or is it a question of him much fat is on the chin? And if so can something be done about that ?

Without photos to go on, it is harder to give you better advice. A genioplasty allows for your chin to be moved into a different position which may be what you are looking for. If you like where your chin is positioned but don't like the shape, you can have the bone contoured down to make it appear flatter. A chin implant may also be an option, but those tend to make the chin bulkier, which does not sound like what you are looking for. Our office provides in-person or virtual consultations if you would like to discuss options further!

Yes, it is possible to alter the appearance of the chin, including changing its shape from a round profile to a flatter or straighter profile. This can involve various cosmetic procedures, such as chin augmentation or reduction surgeries. The specific approach would depend on your unique facial anatomy and desired outcome.

Chin shape can be influenced by factors like bone structure, soft tissue, and fat distribution. Procedures like chin implants, genioplasty (chin surgery), or liposuction may be considered based on individual needs.

Always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. 
Best of luck !
