What surgery should I get to correct the appearance of my chin? What is the average cost? (Photo)

April 18, 2024
Asked By:Xtinaholder

My chin is fleshy and the overlying soft tissue is disproportionately larger than the underlying bone. When I smile, my chin pad pulls downward creating a "witch’s chin" deformity. The chin elongates and a deepened submental crease develops. (hyperdynamic chin pad ptosis). I have seen many options to correct my chin: - submental excision, flesh removal, & tuck - sliding genioplasty - chin augmentation: implant to support weak/under-developed chin.
