Anyway to flatten your chin? (photos)

Thank you for posting your question. Yes.....you can create a chin cleft or enhance a pre-existing cleft in the chin with a minor surgical procedure. I typically perform these procedures here in the office under local anesthetic. Downtime is minimal. Locate a Plastic Surgeon, Board...

A protruding chin like yours has both bone and soft tissue excess. Your chin reduction is best done from a submental approach to remove both excessive bone and the excessive chin pad soft tissue that will result. A chin reduction can be combined with a rhinoplasty during the same procedure.

In terms of aesthetics, I think that you should focus on the nose first.You chin is strong but not unflattering.Further, chin reduction reduction is not done by most plastic surgeons since its hard to deliver great results.

A sliding genioplasty can be combined with jaw angle implant augmentation for a total jawline augmentation effect. This can create more a v-line jaw shape when the two procedures are put together.

With an established and stable occlusion, only a sliding genioplasty bone surgery can be considered at this point for improvement of you recessed chin. Your chin deficiency in profile is well within the limits of what a sliding genioplasty can well correct.

To vertically shorten your chin and make it less round, an intraoral vertical chin reduction osteotomy would accomplish that very nicely and without any external scar. This is a chin bone issue and thus the chin bone itself must be altered to make this change.
