Anyone had chin reduction?

[Sarah96]

If you had a chin reduction along with your jaw surgery or alone, can you tell me about it? How much reduction had been done? Are you satisfied with results? Which method had been done? Are there any side effects? How is your skin/soft tissue pad after surgery? Did it affect your lips posture? Thanks in advance.

There appear to be significant and broadly understated psychological impacts of a chin reduction according to what I’ve read over the years on this forum. People with prominent chins for their whole life tend to be dissatisfied with a “normal” chin and generally think their doctor reduced it too much, even if their new chin is well within what other folks would consider “normal”. They think they now have a weak chin even when their family and friends tell them it looks good. That’s just something to be aware of that surgeons rarely seem to warn folks about. Maybe discuss it with them and have them reduce it from “very prominent” to “fairly prominent”? Note that I’m not a doctor and your mileage may vary.
