Is shaving the tip of the chin safe?

Question

Im a woman with 26 years old and i have a long chin, during my research on surgical methods I saw that some doctors shave the tip of the chin to reduce a long chin, however other doctors have said that this option is not safe unless the muscles are tied up after shaving, because this option can bring more sagging. So shaving the tip of the chin is safe ? This method bring more risck of sagging ?

Paul Mittermiller, MD · Answer

Shaving the chin can be safe if there is a moderate decrease in the size of the chin. It can be accessed through the mouth and would require resuspending the muscles. When performed properly, this is a safe procedure. If you need a significant decrease in the size of the chin, it may be safer to perform an osseous genioplasty. The correct procedure will also depend on which dimensions you want to reduce the chin (vertical, horizontal, etc.).
