28 year old female dropping of chin when smiling that seems to be getting worse with age. I hate my side profile because of the extra soft tissue at the end of my chin and especially hate it when I smile because it drops down. I am NOT wanting to change anything else on my entire face and I don’t really want my front view changed at all, only the end of the chin . Suggestions? Thanks so much

Answer: Chin Reduction for Witch's Chin Chin reduction can help with a large protruding chin 'Witch's chin'. This is usually an abundance of soft tissue which causes a bulge. The procedure involves making an incision below the chin, accessing the extra soft tissue and removing it while taking care to preserve the muscles. Along with this some skin is removed below the chin to have a pulling effect on the chin and leading to a smaller or less protruding chin. Regards Dr. J

Answer: Ptotic chin Hi yes you have a pointy and very prominent chin. A genioplasty to rotate it back and shorten it slightly will make your chin fit your face, and won't cause long term issues. Your front view won't change much, depending on how we move your chin.
