What Is Chin Contouring?
Chin contouring, also known as genioplasty or chin reshaping, is a facial feminization procedure that modifies the size and shape of the chin. This surgery helps create a softer, more traditionally feminine profile by reducing prominence or adjusting contours.
Who Is Chin Contouring For?
This procedure is designed for transgender women and non-binary individuals seeking to feminize their facial features. It is also suitable for those looking to refine their chin’s appearance to achieve better facial harmony.
