How do so many women end up with the 'Witche's' chin look after facelifts? I have seen some outstanding natural results but also some where the person looks really bizarre afterwards in chin area - extremely pointy crafted and unnatural 45degree vertical slant angle between neck and chin. How do surgeons do this is it an aggressive necklift that causes it? I really don't want to have this when I get my op - how do surgeons avoid this?
Answer: Facial Plastic Surgeons Can Help Avoid “Witch's Chin” Although having plastic surgery to the face does not create the phenomenon known as “witch's chin,” by not taking time to understand each patient's unique bone structure and musculature, some surgeons mistakenly accentuate disharmonies that are already present in the face. My training in facial aesthetics by some of the top plastic surgeons in the country means that I examine each patient's face thoroughly and develop a plan that works with their unique features and natural beauty. When it comes to facial plastic surgery, there is no “cookie-cutter” method. Decisions about where to lift and how much tension should be applied to each portion of the skin and muscle must come from thoroughly understanding that particular patient's anatomy.

Answer: Sagging Skin Is to Blame A "witch's chin" deformity is generally related to sagging skin, fat, and other tissue that descends with age and accumulates around the chin. Facelift surgery doesn't cause a witch's chin if it wasn't present to begin with, but it can make an existing one look worse if it isn't properly addressed during the procedure. A chin implant, which is usually placed through an incision in the lower lip, can help lessen the appearance of a lax chin and smooth the jawline. Other options exist, as well, such as chin liposuction. If you're considering facelift surgery, ask your surgeon about it — specifically, ask to see before-and-after photos of patients with a similar condition.

Answer: Not really a result of facelift Facelift do not create witches chins, although I'm not sure if our definitions are the same. If a person has an odd shape to her chin, it was likely pre existing and due to her original anatomy.
