Title: Lower 1/3rd length
Post by: x on May 12, 2013, 05:07:15 PM: If you have excessive vertical length in this area (chin/mandible) how can it be reduced? CCW rotation shortens it to an extent but what other procedures?

A decent amount longer, my other 1/3rds are in proportion. Maybe you're right and its not a big deal
