What Do You Need To Know About Chin Reduction?

Facial features like chin and cheekbones play an important role in defining a proportionate V-line shape of the face. However, every individual is not blessed to have a defined jawline and refined chin shape, especially transgender women with masculine chin shape. Chin reduction surgery is an appropriate solution to correct excessive long, wide, or protruding chin and helps enhance facial aesthetics.

Chin reduction or genioplasty is a cosmetic surgery that helps reposition and reshape the chin to enhance facial harmony. Although the surgery is one of the commonly performed procedures under facial feminization surgery, it can also be opted by individuals who desire a defined and enhanced appearance of their chin and jawline. The ideal candidate for chin reduction or genioplasty surgery are individuals receding chin due to aging, large or extended chin, asymmetrical chin, too short, or too long a chin that does not compliment the facial features and abnormal dental bite. 


Chin reduction in India is performed by plastic and cosmetic surgeon Dr. Parag Telang, specializing in facial feminization surgery. Dr. Parag Telang excels in complex FFS procedures with a proper understanding of the art and science of facial anatomy.

There are two types of Chin reduction surgery.

Sliding Genioplasty: Sliding genioplasty is also known as osseous genioplasty and is suitable for individuals who have a backward projected chin towards their neck and with very long chin. The sliding genioplasty procedure involves the redefining of the chin by creating an incision along the lower gums and inside of the lower lips. The incision is created to access the chin bone and make a horizontal cut below the bottom teeth root to position the chin forward, sideways, or backward. Then the incisions are closed after checking the alignment of the bone and reattaching the chin bone with the help of screws and metal plates.

Implant Augmentation: The implant augmentation procedure involves making a small incision on either side of the mouth or under the chin to insert the implants. This technique is usually considered to reshape and enlarge the chin’s appearance of an individual. The implants are secured with stitches and screws. The commonly used implants in this surgery are alloplastic implants.

The initial steps of chin reduction surgery involve the evaluation of the patient’s current health, the face measurement, and medical imaging tests like CT scan and X-ray of the jaw are also performed to determine the suitable procedure for the patient. Every individual has a different face structure and concern, and hence, procedures can vary from one person to another.  To know more about chin reduction treatment cost in India, consult today with FFS surgeon Dr. Parag Telang.

Tips to follow before and after the chin reduction procedure:

- Avoid alcohol 3 days before the surgery.

- No blood-thinning medicine should be taken as it can affect the surgery.

- Smoking should be avoided 4 weeks before and after the surgery.

- One can resume work after 7 to 10 days.

- Avoid extensive exercise for the first 3 weeks after the surgery.

- Opt for a soft diet for the first week after the surgery.

- One might experience inflammation, tightness, and discomfort, which will settle on its own in a few days.
