Is this chin ptosis? Are there any non surgical options? (Photo)

Question

My chin protrudes from the side and kind of looks like it has extra meat to it. I don’t have an underbite. I’m wondering is this considered chin ptosis and what are the options to improve the way this looks. Also are there any non surgical options?

Based on these photos, it looks that you have large lower jaw and chin. This also applies to chin soft tissue. Reduction of the chin and soft tissue may help. Shaving of the bone or reverse genioplasty may be some options. Hope this helps.

Michael P. Morrissette, DDS, FACS · Answer

You have a prominent chin and not chin ptosis. The surgical options are a chin reduction with bone removal or a chin shaving procedure. The thickness of the chin pad can help determine which procedure is better in your case.
