Benefits of Chin Reduction in Santa Monica
Facial Symmetry
Chin reduction helps your chin stop dominating the focus, allowing it to complement the rest of your features and create a more balanced appearance.
Anti-Aging
Chin reduction can help firm and smooth the skin around the cheeks, jawline, and neck, giving you a refreshed, more youthful appearance.
Long Lasting
When done by a skilled surgeon and coupled with a healthy lifestyle, chin reduction is permanent and rarely requires any future adjustments or procedures.
Consultation
It all begins with a one-on-one chat with your skilled and licensed Younique provider. Together, you’ll go over your concerns, treatment goals, and medical history. If chin reduction is the perfect fit for you, they’ll set up your surgery and fill you in on all the pre-surgery details to get you ready for the transformation!
Procedure
Also known as “mentoplasty” or “genioplasty,” chin reduction is performed under general anesthesia, so you won’t feel any pain or discomfort during the procedure. Once you’re all set, your Younique surgeon will make small incisions to remove part of the bone in your chin. We might also adjust your upper and lower jaw, along with soft tissues, to improve your bite and enhance your overall look.
This one-hour procedure typically leads to a fast recovery with minimal complications. Chin reduction surgery in Santa Monica can transform the way you see yourself, boosting your confidence and self-esteem while giving you a more youthful, refreshed appearance.
Recovery
Most people begin to feel better after about a week, once the pain and swelling start to go down. While you may still have some restrictions on diet and exercise, you should be able to get back to work soon after your chin reduction, with follow-up appointments scheduled to track your progress.

Who makes an ideal candidate for chin reduction surgery?
Genioplasty/mentoplasty is ideal for anyone who wants to help balance their facial features. Most candidates have issues concerning:
- Alignment of chin
- Chin protrusion
- Disproportioned face
While a protruding chin is more common in older adults, chin reduction surgery is still an excellent option for younger adults with aesthetic concerns. If you have periodontal disease or other diagnoses, alert your physician. Specific oral, jaw, and soft tissue medical issues may be contraindicated for this surgery.
Can I combine my chin reduction surgery with other treatments?
Yes! Some of our patients choose to undergo multiple procedures at once to minimize overall downtime over the long run. Our Younique Surgery Center & Med Spa patients frequently have chin reduction surgery in Santa Monica along with a:
- Face lift
- Neck lift
- Rhinoplasty
Chin reduction surgery works well with any surgical intervention meant to balance facial features and symmetry. The decision is totally yours to make!
