Chin Reduction and Contour
Soften a prominent chin and create harmony with the rest of the face.
Chin reduction surgery, also known as mentoplasty, is performed to decrease and refine the size of an overdeveloped or protruding chin - a common masculine trait. In facial feminization, reducing the chin’s height, width, or projection can significantly soften the lower face.
Why patients choose this procedure:
-
A more balanced, feminine facial profile
-
Contouring without the higher risks of sliding genioplasty
-
A tailored approach that considers the full face, not just the chin
This procedure is often performed alongside rhinoplasty to ensure the nose and chin remain in harmony.
Chin Reduction and Contour with implant
Refine and rebalance the lower face with customized contouring and implant support.
In some cases, a chin implant is used in combination with chin reduction to enhance shape and restore balance. The implant is made of medical-grade silastic, the same material used in hip and knee replacements, and is placed through a small incision hidden in the natural crease beneath the chin.
Why combine reduction with an implant:
-
Enhances definition after reducing a prominent chin
-
Prevents facial imbalance from an overly minimized jawline
Helps harmonize the upper and lower face for a more feminine contour
