There is a range of techniques for this.
1.1 Chin reduction by resecting the angle of the chin bone is applicable where a patient has a small chin but is concerned only with the corner of the chin bone. After the surgery, the chin will appear curved as desired.

1.2 Chin reduction by resecting the bone from the chin angle to the middle of the mandible. This is applicable where the patient has a square and broad chin. The chin reduction starts from the middle of a mandible to balance a new lower jawline. This procedure is the most commonly performed technique for chin reduction.

2. Chin Reduction without Mandible angle reduction

After the chin is adjusted forward or backward, bone shaving is possible.

Chin Reduction: the key to a perfectly proportioned and balanced face.
Chin Reduction, also known as genioplasty, is a surgical procedure that involves reshaping the chin to achieve a more proportionate and balanced facial appearance. Depending on the individual's specific needs and desired outcome, the procedure can involve either reducing the size of the chin bone or adding to it.
Chin Reduction can significantly impact a person's self-confidence and self-esteem, as it can improve the overall appearance of the face and help achieve a more proportionate and balanced look.

‘A well-proportioned and balanced face is characterized by symmetry and harmony between facial features. The chin plays a crucial role in this balance, as it is the lowermost feature of the face and can greatly affect the overall appearance of the jawline and neck. A receding chin or a chin that is too prominent can make the face appear imbalanced and disproportionate.’
