What is Chin Reduction?

Chin reduction is a specialized cosmetic surgery that reduces the size or changes the projection of a chin that is too large or prominent. This procedure is technically known as reduction genioplasty and mentoplasty. A skilled surgeon carefully reshapes the bone at the tip of the chin. This involves shaving or the precise removal and repositioning of a small section of the chin bone. This helps to create a more proportionate appearance.

Common Concerns Chin Reduction Can Fix:

This procedure is versatile and effectively resolves several common aesthetic issues related to the lower face and jawline:

A prominent or dominant chin
Congenital deformities of the jawbone
Wide or square-shaped chin
Weak jaw
Asymmetry (one side of the chin may sit slightly higher or forward)

How Much Does Chin Reduction Cost in Abu Dhabi?

The Chin Reduction Cost starts from 7,000 AED. The prices are influenced by several critical factors. The key factors are surgeon expertise and the complexity of the procedure. Other elements include the anesthesia fee and facility charges.

Preparation:

In the first consultation, the plastic surgeon discusses the problem areas, issues, and concerns of the patients. The surgeon then takes a physical examination and may also draw some blood for blood tests to confirm if the patient is ideal for the treatment. Once the initial check-up is complete, the doctor gives a list of instructions to prepare the candidate for the treatment.

The patient is to avoid taking any blood-thinning medications for days before the surgery. Smoking is also to be avoided as it affects the healing process.

Procedure: What Happens in the Operation

It’s natural to feel anxious about the steps involved during a procedure. The understanding of the exact process helps to alleviate any anxiety. Here is what happens during reduction genioplasty at our facility:

Personalized Treatment Planning:

The plastic surgeon evaluates the facial structure after the initial consultation. Imaging or 3D simulation may be used to deeply assess your facial bones. This step makes sure the treatment is tailored to your face and proportions.

Anesthesia for Comfort:

Your comfort and safety matter most before anything else. An anesthesiologist will administer general anesthesia for comfort. He will also monitor your vital signs closely from start to finish.

Creating the Incision:

The surgeon makes a small incision inside the mouth to avoid any visible scarring. This allows direct access to your chin bone (mandible). The incision is sometimes placed under the chin.

Accessing and Reshaping the Bone:

This is the core step of the surgery. The surgeon lifts the soft tissues to expose the bone.

Bone shaving: The surgeon uses special medical tools to shave down or contour the outer layer of bone. This technique is for moderate reduction or to narrow a wide chin.
Osteotomy: In this technique, the surgeon makes a calculated cut through the bone. A segment of bone is removed before the remaining pieces are realigned to attain the desired shape.

Securing the New Structure:

The specialist secures the new structure once the bone is sculpted. Titanium plates and screws are used for this purpose. These plates are compatible with your body and ensure the new shape is stable as it heals.

Closing the Incision:

The surgeon finally closes the incision with the dissolvable suture. A pressure dressing is then applied to reduce swelling. It also supports the new contours during the initial phase of recovery.

Essential Aftercare Guidelines for Best Recovery:

The following advice guarantees a seamless recuperation and optimal outcomes for your genioplasty procedure:

Use a cold compress on your chin to reduce swelling
Take all recommended medications on time
Keep your diet liquid or soft during the first few days
Raise your head when you’re sleeping or resting
Stay away from heavy exercise that puts pressure on your chin
Attend all your follow-up appointments

Chin Reduction vs. Chin Implant

You have likely come across the above two procedures as you are exploring ways to refine your profile. Both seek to improve the harmony of the face and the appearance of the chin. Here is a comparison to help you see the distinction:

Feature	Chin Reduction	Chin Implant (Augmentation)
Purpose	Reduce the size or prominence of the chin	Increase the projection or volume of the chin
Ideal Candidate	Individuals with a large or asymmetrical chin	Individuals with a small or recessed chin seeking more definition
Procedure Type	Surgical reshaping of bone and/or soft tissue	Surgical insertion of a biocompatible implant
Longevity	Permanent	Long-lasting, but implants may need adjustment over time
Result	More balanced and natural-looking profile	Enhanced projection and defined jawline

Complementary Procedures: Enhancing Your Results

Experts often recommend combining genioplasty with the following two procedures to create unmatched definition:

Neck Lift:

Loose skin or muscle cords in the neck become more noticeable after reducing the chin bone. This is where Neck Lift comes in. This procedure tightens the skin and muscles in the neck area. The goal is to eliminate the appearance of turkey neck or muscle banding. It is essential to ensure bone reduction does not leave behind a surplus of soft tissues.

Facial Liposuction:

Facial liposuction is the best option for removing excess fat located under the chin. This procedure precisely removes the localized fat to reveal the bone structure. A sharp jawline is not possible with bone work alone. This creates results that look sharp and youthful in appearance.

Recovery Timeframe of Reduction Genioplasty:

Here’s a general recovery timeline for the reduction genioplasty procedure:

Recovery Milestone	Timeframe	What You Can Expect
Initial Downtime	3-7 Days	Swelling and minor bruising Pain and discomfort
Return to Work	7-14 Days	The swelling begins to decrease Most patients felt comfortable
Light Exercise	2-3 Weeks	You can resume light exercise Avoid contact sports
Swelling Resolution	4-6 Weeks	Selling completely resolves The shape of the chin becomes more defined
Final Results	3-6 Months	The bone and soft tissues are fully settled Final results emerge

Who is a Good Candidate for Chin Reduction Surgery?

Knowing whether you are a good candidate is the first crucial step. You are likely a good candidate if you meet the following criteria:

Adults whose facial and skeletal growth is complete
Those who possess a prominent or over-projecting chin
Someone who wants to enhance facial harmony
Candidate having a clear and realistic idea of what the procedure can accomplish
Nonsmokers or those who are willing to quit before the surgery

The Transformation: Before and After Results

The most exciting part of any procedure is visualizing the outcome. The before and after results of Chin Reduction are truly transformative. Individuals struggle with an unbalanced chin before the procedure. And after surgery, they notice their facial profile appears more balanced and harmonious. The focus is on refining your current facial features so they align perfectly, not about looking like a different person.
