Refined Chin Contouring for Improved Facial Harmony, Softer Profile & Natural Proportions
Chin Reduction, also known as Reduction Mentoplasty, is a facial contouring procedure designed to reshape or reduce a prominent or protruding chin. Many patients choose Chin Reduction surgery to improve facial balance when the chin appears disproportionate to the nose, lips, or jawline. By refining chin projection and shape, the procedure enhances overall facial harmony while maintaining a natural appearance. This surgery is often chosen by individuals who feel their chin dominates their facial profile or creates a strong lower face. Chin Reduction focuses on reducing bone projection and improving facial proportions so the chin blends naturally with surrounding features.
At Wansiri Hospital in Bangkok, Thailand, Chin Reduction procedures are planned according to each patient’s facial anatomy, aesthetic goals, and medical evaluation to support balanced and natural-looking results.
🩺 What Is Chin Reduction?
Chin Reduction is a surgical facial contouring procedure that decreases the size, projection, or width of the chin to create a more harmonious facial profile. The procedure focuses on reshaping the chin bone so that it aligns proportionally with the rest of the facial features.

✔️ Improves facial balance and profile harmony
✔️ Reshapes the chin bone for better proportions
✔️ Bone may be shaved or repositioned
✔️ Reduces a prominent or protruding chin
✔️ Creates a softer, balanced lower face
✔️ Often performed with incisions inside the mouth
✔️ External incision under the chin in some cases
✔️ Can be combined with other facial procedures

🩺 Types of Chin Reduction Procedures
- Bone Shaving Chin Reduction – This technique reduces chin projection by carefully shaving or contouring the outer portion of the chin bone to create a smoother and smaller chin profile.
- Sliding Genioplasty for Chin Reduction – In this technique, a small section of the chin bone is repositioned to reduce forward projection while maintaining structural stability and facial harmony.
- Vertical Chin Reduction – This method reduces excessive chin height, which is useful for patients with a long or elongated lower face.
- Chin Narrowing Procedure – A surgical technique that reshapes the chin to reduce excessive width and create a more refined chin contour.
- Combination Chin Contouring – In some cases, surgeons combine multiple techniques to address projection, height, and width simultaneously for balanced facial proportions.
