Chin Shaving
Chin shaving surgery (also known as chin reduction or genioplasty) is a cosmetic procedure that reshapes and reduces the size of the chin to achieve better facial balance and proportion. This procedure is suitable for individuals with a prominent or asymmetric chin that appears too long or projects too far forward compared to the rest of the face.
Procedure Overview
Chin shaving surgery involves carefully contouring the bone structure of the chin to create a smoother and more refined facial profile. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and usually requires a one-night hospital stay for observation and recovery.
A personal consultation with the surgeon is essential to determine the most appropriate surgical technique based on the patient’s facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.

Proper preparation is key to ensure a safe procedure and smooth recovery after Chin Shaving surgery.
Before Surgery:
Prepare comfortable clothing to wear after hospital discharge. A medical gown will be provided before entering the operating theater.
Aesthetic chin shaving typically is performed to contour to a receding chin.
After chin shaving surgery, it is normal to experience mild soreness and discomfort, which can be easily managed with prescribed medication. Your surgeon may recommend a liquid or soft diet for the first few days to allow proper healing.
Most patients are able to return to work and normal daily activities within one week after surgery. However, some firmness or tightness in the chin area may persist for several weeks or even months as part of the natural healing process. Your surgeon may prescribe additional medication or treatments to help promote recovery and reduce swelling.
The timeline for resuming full physical activity varies depending on each individual’s healing rate. To ensure proper healing, patients should avoid strenuous activity, heavy exercise, or overhead lifting for at least four weeks following surgery.
Following your surgeon’s instructions carefully and attending all follow-up appointments will help ensure the best possible outcome.
Patients undergoing chin shaving surgery at Preecha Aesthetic Institute are advised to stay in Bangkok for a short recovery period to ensure proper healing and follow-up care.
Stitch Removal: Typically performed seven days after surgery.
Exercise: Avoid heavy exercise and overhead lifting for at least four weeks after surgery.
Scarring: Incisions are placed in inconspicuous areas and generally fade well over time.
Swelling and Bruising: Can be reduced by keeping your head elevated as much as possible during the first few weeks.
Local patients may return to work a week, but should avoid heavy lifting or rapid movements for 4-8 weeks following surgery.
International patients should plan to stay in Bangkok for ten days to allow for proper follow-up and stitch removal. After returning home, most patients can resume work within a few days, but should continue to avoid strenuous activities or heavy lifting for 4-8 weeks after the surgery date.
