Chin contouring surgery

Chin is a facial feature that gives structure to the whole face. Men’s chins are usually wider and larger than women’s. Men with square, masculine chin are considered more attractive, while women seek more feminine and softer jawline. Feminizing the chin means making it more round and narrow

Chin contouring is usually done when the chin has inborn underdevelopment, or due to aging. When the chin is underdeveloped, the surgery is combined with rhinoplasty in order to achieve better aesthetic balance and more perfect proportions. Today, chin contouring surgery due to aging is not as popular as it used to be in previous decades, because the result doesn’t always look aesthetically natural. Nowadays, the most popular way to do this correction is by using fillers, which is way faster and easier to do. The result looks softer and natural.

Surgery. General anesthesia is used for this surgery. The wound is stitched with self-dissolving stitches. Most of the patients can return home on the same day. No scars are left during the surgery, as the incisions are made intraorally. Patients can return to social life 7 to 10 days after the surgery.
