Benefits of Chin Reduction in Los Angeles
Facial Symmetry
Chin reduction can keep your chin from drawing everyone’s attention, and instead it works in harmony to shape the face in balance with your features.
Anti-Aging
A chin reduction can help tighten and smooth out the skin around the cheeks, jawline, and neck for a refreshed, more youthful look.
Long Lasting
With a healthy lifestyle, a chin reduction is permanent and will not require any future adjustments or procedures when performed by a skilled surgeon.
Consultation
It starts with a personal consultation with your trained and licensed Younique provider. During this one-on-one, they’ll discuss your concerns, your goals for treatment, and your medical history. If your provider determines that a chin reduction is the most appropriate course of action, your surgery can be scheduled, and you’ll be filled in on the pre-surgery preparation details.
Procedure
Also called a “mentoplasty” or “genioplasty,” your chin reduction is performed under general anesthesia. You should not feel any pain or discomfort during your procedure. Once ready, your Younique surgeon will make minimal incisions, allowing us to remove part of the bone in your chin. We may also adjust your upper and lower jaw and soft tissues for bite patterns and aesthetic changes.
The 1-hour procedure results in a quick recovery with little to no complications in most cases. Chin reduction surgery in Los Angeles can redefine how you see yourself and help improve your confidence and self-esteem, all while giving you a more youthful appearance.
Recovery
Most people start feeling better after 1 week when the pain and inflammation begin subsiding. You may still have restrictions on dieting or exercise. However, you should be able to resume work shortly after a chin reduction with scheduled follow-up appointments.

The path for your Younique journey begins with this first step.
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 Los Angeles 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!
