CHIN SHAVING
Genioplasty
Chin Shaving
Having a jaw angle reduction can reduce the appearance and size of the jaw, making it rounder and more narrow at the square corners near the back of the jawbone.
Usually, this surgery is combined with chin feminization surgery to create a harmonious balance of these two adjacent areas.
Patients over the age of 40 may experience some loose skin around the jaw or chin after a jaw shave. This can be tightened after the original jaw shave procedure with a lower face-lift.

Usually an incision is made on the inside of the cheek or under the chin. The bones will be sculpted to a more pleasing appearance or may be repositioned to attain the desired effect. Once the surgeon is completely happy with the results of the chin shaving or bone contouring the incisions will be sutured closed.
During consultation you are obligated to inform a surgeon of your lifestyle and any medications/vitamins/supplements you may be using as such can affect your treatment and also prolong your recovery.
For the first two weeks the patient is advised to rest but after six weeks most of the symptoms of the surgery should have healed and the patient can resume their normal activities.
Chin shaving and bone contouring does involve some risks, which might include bleeding, swelling, infection and an asymmetrical appearance after surgery.
