What Is Chin Reduction?

Chin reduction is a surgical procedure that reshapes or reduces the size of the chin by modifying bone structure and, in some cases, soft tissue. The goal is to create better alignment between the chin and the rest of the facial features.

At SOMA, chin reduction procedures in Pasadena are customized to enhance overall facial harmony while preserving natural structure.

What Chin Reduction Can Address

Chin reduction is designed to improve concerns related to chin size and facial proportion.

  • Disproportion between the lower face and other facial features, improving overall harmony.
  • Profile concerns where the chin extends beyond the ideal alignment with the nose and lips.
  • A strong or angular chin that may appear too dominant in the facial structure.
  • Overly prominent or projecting chin, helping create a more balanced profile.
  • Desire for a softer, more refined lower facial appearance.

Chin Reduction vs Chin Implants

Chin reduction and chin implants address opposite concerns but both improve facial balance.

Chin Reduction

Chin reduction decreases the size or projection of the chin, making it ideal for patients with a prominent lower face.

Chin Implants

Chin implants increase projection and structure, making them suitable for patients with a recessed chin.

Your provider will help determine the most appropriate approach based on your facial structure and goals.
