Who is a Candidate?
Unsightly sagging and drooping of the skin at the tip of the chin can look just plain terrible. This condition may be spontaneous or may be caused by extensive dental manipulations or
large weight gains/losses. No matter what the cause, Dr. Donald Kress can help give you a more defined and shapely chin appearance.

Witch's Chin Correction in Frederick, Maryland
This cosmetic surgery procedure is done on an outpatient basis usually under local
anesthesia, either in a free-standing surgical center or in the
office.
During the procedure, a football-shaped portion of the excess facial skin is treated by
removing the surface skin and then folding this skin onto itself to fill the
accompanying groove beneath the chin. Liposuction or minor skin
modifications can be performed at the same time. There is minimal bruising
but a moderate amount of swelling which can take several weeks to
resolve.
Recovery Time
There is virtually no pain involved with the procedure, and sutures
are removed within 5 to 7 days. Any bruising is gone within 10 to 14 days, a
little longer for the swelling. Many people can return to work even
before all of the sutures are removed.
Your Result
After this surgery, you can benefit from an improved facial profile with a better balance to the
neck/chin area and a more esthetic appearance.
