    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Facial Aesthetics
    • Orthognathic Surgery

    Background:

    • Facial profile balancing is a key consideration in aesthetic surgery.
    • Rhinoplasty outcomes can be significantly influenced by chin projection.
    • Pre-existing dental and skeletal discrepancies can complicate profile modification.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the surgical technique and considerations for chin reduction to enhance facial balance.
    • To emphasize the importance of pre-operative assessment for successful outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Surgical reduction of chin projection.
    • Pre-operative assessment including dental and facial bone evaluation (potentially with radiologic studies or dental models).
    • Procedure performed under local anesthesia.

    Main Results:

    • A minimum bone resection of 2.5 to 3.0 mm is required to achieve noticeable change.
    • Successful profile balancing can be achieved through targeted chin reduction.

    Conclusions:

    • Chin reduction is an effective method for improving facial profile harmony, especially post-rhinoplasty.
    • Thorough pre-operative evaluation is essential to identify and manage potential complicating factors before chin reduction surgery.
