Abstract
Introduction: The chin plays a critical role in overall establishing facial balance and proportions. Abnormalities of chin projection, height, width and symmetry can affect perioral aesthetics, gender alignment, and aging.
Evaluation: Patients who present for aesthetic perioral enhancement should have a complete evaluation of the perioral bony anatomy. Chin excess may occur in the horizontal, vertical and transverse dimensions. Surgical chin contouring may require both deprojection and shortening.
Technique: The technique for both horizontal and vertical chin reduction will be reviewed in addition to complications.
Conclusions: The chin is a critical component to facial harmony and should be evaluated and addressed during aesthetic enhancement and rejuvenation.
