Chin correction | Nürnberger Klinik for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

The purpose of a chin correction is to create a harmonious profile in cases of a chin that before was either particularly pronounced or receding; the way to do this is by means of a surgical operation.

When we speak about a chin correction, we must differentiate between a chin enlargement and a chin reduction. A chin enlargement may optimise a receding chin which usually appears like a double chin. In cases of a very prominent chin, however, a chin reduction may be called for.

After a chin correction, the chin may first be pressure-sensitive and hurt. Occurring pain can be countered effectively by means of current anti-pain medication.

About two weeks before a chin correction, no blood-thinning medication and no nutritional supplements should be taken. In a personal consultation at the Nürnberger Klinik for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, we provide detailed instruction as to how to behave before a chin correction.

After the chin correction, you should again refrain from taking any nutritional supplements for another two weeks. The further aftercare depends on the respective method performed.

The chin correction will be carried out in accordance with the individual situation and the chosen treatment method. In a personal consultation appointment, we will inform you in detail about the operation and we will discuss with you which treatment method is best suited for you and your needs.

Yes, the effect of a chin correction will last your entire life.

Here at Nürnberger Klinik for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, we pay particular attention to using operation methods that leave as few scars as possible. The access to a chin correction will in many cases be via the oral cavity so that there will not be any visible scars later on. Should access from the outside be necessary, we will place the incision so that it will hardly be visible afterwards.

Like with any other operation, a chin correction also comes with the usual operation risks such as infections, wound healing issues, or bleeding. At Nürnberger Klinik for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, you will be treated exclusively by experienced and qualified medical specialists, so that we are able to reduce these risks to a large extent. In a personal consultation appointment, we will inform you once again about all risks that might occur during a chin correction.

The costs for a chin correction in our Nürnberger Klinik for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery start at 4,500 €. We will be happy to prepare an individual cost calculation for you during a personal consultation.
