Is it safe to get a chin reduction with a recessed lower jaw? (Photo)

Diligent399294Oct 21, 2024
I have a recessed lower jaw with a very tall chin that I'd like to get reduced. I plan to get jaw surgery some day but in the meantime my chin bothers me a lot. Will the mentalis muscle reattach correctly on a recessed chin? I already have some minor lip incompetence

This is a particular area of focus for my practice. However, we don't have the right photos. We need side views too. Biting and not biting as well (from the front). But, good news, there are ways to help this. We just need to know the right approach first.

There is a lot that goes into looking feminine. While you look quite feminine now, we can likely adjust your face with chin modification - e.g. a chin implant or jaw surgery. Watch our videos to learn more.

This is a constellation of procedures that can adjust those features that are making your face look different than how you like. We address the forehead, jaw, lip, nose, and cheeks among others when necessary. Watch our videos to learn more.
