Chin Reduction Candidates

Different parts of the face complement each other in unique ways. By adjusting just one facial feature, you may be changing your overall appearance. Indeed, everything is connected when it comes to your facial features, which is why it’s important to speak with a skilled New Jersey plastic surgeon if you are interested in facial rejuvenation or the revision of your face in general.

The Shape of the Chin

This is particularly true when it comes to the overall shape of the chin. A chin that is too small, for instance, can make other parts of the face seem disproportionately large or too prominent. A chin that is too large may make your face appear too long or oddly shaped. In addition, a chin that has been altered by injuries, diseases, or medical conditions can make you look less attractive.

At our Eatontown and Toms River plastic surgery center, we have a number of different options available for the revision of the overall appearance of your chin.

Options for Surgical Revision

For an effective facial plastic surgery treatment option that alters the overall shape and contour of the chin, the two options are generally chin reduction surgery and chin augmentation surgery. Let’s focus on chin reduction right now, with a little info on chin augmentation and implants after that.

About Chin Reduction Surgery

Chin reduction surgery will involve the revision of the overall structure of the bone of the chin. The bone structure of the chin will be revised through incisions made underneath the chin or in the inside of the lower lip.

Best Candidates for Chin Reduction Surgery

The best candidates for chin reduction surgery are people in good general health overall who do not have any medical conditions that may prevent them from undergoing surgery. These candidates should also have reasonable expectations about what to expect from the surgery and be at least 20 years old. (By that age, the chin should be fully developed.)

Chin Augmentation and Chin Implants

Since chin reduction is not always the answer, another option to consider is chin augmentation surgery. This involves the use of chin implants to help revise and enhance the overall shape of the chin. In some cases, altering the shape and prominence of the chin may eliminate the need for a patient to undergo a New Jersey rhinoplasty.

Other Options for Facial Plastic Surgery

In addition to chin reduction and augmentation surgery, there are other facial plastic surgery options to consider. These include facelift or browlift, which are great if you want to reduce wrinkles and other signs of aging. These can be discussed in more detail when you come to the practice for an appointment.
