Nowadays small or receded chins can be altered to bring harmony to the facial profile, as can other facial features. I am fascinated by surgery and have seen on television cosmetic surgery done for a variety of aesthetic shortcomings. People's ingenuity in beating these shortcomings is amazing--beating evolutionary shortcomings, such as sexual selection.
I am very interested in medical research. My father died of non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma two years ago, and when all treatments were exhausted I furiously searched for the latest treatments, those that were recently approved and experimental treatments. This empowered my family to ask about the latest treatments, one of which my dad received but which was ineffective due to the advanced stage of his illness.

Cosmetic surgery usually adds to the chin by adding implants to give someone a firm looking chin. Surgery to remove too much chin does not seem to occur. So the idea of having a chin is quite strong in people's psyche.

So the idea of having a chin is quite strong in people's psyche. I saw something once where the chin can be reduced or advanced by sawing the chin bone and sliding it forward or backward to lengthen or shorten it and then reattaching it with screws and plates. It sounds grotesque and quite painful, but if I remember correctly the doctor who performed this operation said it can be well-tolerated. One of my coworkers was in a horrendous car accident where he almost died. His jaw was smashed, but doctors did a great job in reconstructing his facial skeletal structure.
