Genioplasty, Chin reduction (vertical) without the use of screws/plates, is that possible?

November 7, 2020
Asked By:Terry gross in Toronto, ON

I am unhappy with the vertical length of my chin. I would like to reduce the length by 1-1.5cms. However the idea of having screws and plates and other medical hardware permanently "installed" does not sit right with me. Is this possible via shaving down the bone of the chin alone without the use of hardware?
