Abstract

A reduction in the projection of the chin can balance a profile, particularly following a rhinoplasty. It is important, however, that dental and facial bone relationships first be assessed in order to rule out the existence of complicating conditions. This examination may or may not include radiologic studies or dental models. The surgery can be performed under local anesthesia. A minimum of 2.5 to 3.0 mm of bone must be resected in order to effect change.
