Question - I want to reduce my chin. Which procedure is suitable to me? T-Osteotomy or Long curve osteotomy?

Answer - If you want to only REDUCE chin, we recommend Long curver osteotomy method. Because, both procedures have different perform.

T-Osteotomy would be performed for patient with long chin, short chin, and slight lantern jaw, but other chin types are not suitable for the procedure. Also the procedure is possible to do anterior sliding genioplasty or posterior sliding genioplasty. 

However If you want to only reduce chin width and length, T-Osteotomy is not appropriate method.

Long curve osteotomy procedure is possible to reduce chin width and length in one piece with no nerve damage. Since the procedure is simple and less osteotomy method rather than T-Osteotomy, recovery period is much short and fast.
