The shape and look of the chin is an important, gender-indicating facial feature; the chin is critical in reaching your facial feminization goals. The position, shape, and size of the chin makes a huge different in how the neck and nose appear (as the chin balances the whole face).
At Ultra Aesthetics, chin surgery for FFS is performed with a focus on precision, balance, and natural-looking results. Dr. Ravinder Jarial customizes each procedure to complement your facial features, helping you achieve a softer, more feminine profile that aligns with your identity.
More About Chin Surgery
Male chins are typically much more prominent than female chins: they are bigger, wider, longer, and squarer. Masculine chins also often have a flat base, while feminine chins are more delicate and tapered. Male chins tend to have more space between the lower lip and the bottom of the chin and, sometimes, male chins have a vertical crease in the center of the chin – known as a “cleft chin” – which is very uncommon in women.
The chin can be greatly modified – all of these features can be reduced and feminized at Ultra Aesthetics’s Florida premises.
How is Chin Surgery Performed?
Dr. Jarial makes an incision in the mouth to access the chin – so there is no scarring from this procedure. The chin is shaved down to reach the desired height and then laterally sawed in two: the bottom-most part is cut off so that it can be repositioned to give a more feminine look (usually, it’s moved back to make the chin appear less prominent).
To reduce the width of the chin, Dr. Jarial can remove a small portion of bone from the center of the chin. This method has the added benefit of making the chin appear more pointed and feminine looking (as well as narrower). Once the placement is as desired, the bones are fixed in place using plates and small screws.
Chin implants are used only very occasionally, as they add mass to the chin when, in a feminizing procedure, the aim is typically to take mass away. They are usually only appropriate when the patient has a very weak chin or an underbite.
What Should I Expect After my Chin Surgery?
After chin surgery at Ultra Aesthetics, you can expect to stay at least one night in a hospital (the length of stay necessary will vary from patient to patient). A compression bandage will be put over the chin for the first 24 hours and there will be some swelling and numbness, the majority of which will subside in seven to ten days.

Frequently Asked Questions
Genioplasty is a general term for surgery that changes the position, shape, or size of the chin. FFS chin surgery may use genioplasty techniques specifically to create facial proportions that appear softer and more feminine. Depending on your anatomy, Dr. Jarial may reduce the height or width of the chin, adjust its projection, or reshape the underlying bone. The surgical plan is customized because the characteristics that contribute to a masculine-looking chin vary from person to person.
Chin surgery can address several characteristics that may contribute to a more masculine lower face. These can include:
- A wide or square chin
- Excessive chin height or length
- A prominent or projecting chin
- A flat or broad chin base
- A central cleft
- A chin that appears disproportionate to other facial features
Rather than focusing on one measurement, Dr. Jarial considers how the chin relates to the jawline, lips, nose, and overall facial profile. This comprehensive evaluation helps determine which changes may create more balanced feminine proportions.
Dr. Jarial performs FFS chin surgery through an incision made inside the mouth. Because the incision is intraoral, the procedure does not leave an external surgical scar on the chin. During your consultation, Dr. Jarial can explain the incision placement, surgical technique, and what to expect as the area heals.
Yes. Chin surgery may be performed independently or incorporated into a more comprehensive facial feminization surgery plan. Because the chin plays an important role in the proportions of the lower face and profile, Dr. Jarial may evaluate it in relation to areas such as the jaw, nose, forehead, or other facial features.
The appropriate combination is highly individual. Your FFS plan at Ultra Aesthetics will be based on your facial anatomy and the specific changes you want to achieve, rather than a standardized combination of procedures.
Swelling is expected after chin surgery, with a significant amount generally subsiding within the first seven to ten days. However, healing is gradual, and some residual swelling may remain as the tissues continue to settle.
Because recovery varies between individuals and depends partly on the extent of surgery performed, Dr. Jarial will provide personalized instructions and monitor your progress during follow-up appointments.
You may begin noticing changes to the shape and proportions of your chin as the initial swelling decreases. The appearance will continue to evolve as residual swelling resolves and the tissues adapt to the newly shaped underlying structure. Don’t judge your final result too early in recovery.
Because FFS chin surgery reshapes and repositions the underlying bone, the structural changes are intended to be permanent. Your face will still undergo the natural changes associated with aging over time, but the surgically created changes to the chin’s underlying structure are designed to remain.
