I had a chin implant and liposuction done when I was very young (Nineteen years old).
After losing around 35 pounds in an effort to decrease my double chin I realized that no matter how much weight I lost I just had a genetic predisposition to have a fattier area under my chin. Going...

3 weeks after surgery my smile was still quite crooked. My surgeon told me that I shouldn't worry and that my smile should return within 2 to 4 months. I got a second opinion from a different facial plastic surgeon and a third opinion from an MD off the internet. It still didn't make me...

I did get a chin implant back in April 6, 2011. Now after some months I’m really not satisfied with the result. I have a really weak chin, and asked my surgeon if I could compensate this so that my face would look more complete. Now it feels like he did enlarge my chin, but not enough...

I had my chin implant almost 5 weeks ago and I feel my implant was riding too high. It is like in between my teeth and chin bone. Not only my chin, my entire face now looks shorter and more round than before.
My old chin was weak but long and sharp. My surgery said it is because the...

I had it done because I hadpreviously had rhinoplasty but it failed to give me a substantial change to my profile which is what I was looking for. So the doctor then said that I should consider the implant which would give me that desired effect.
I should have thought twice as this same...

I have a very receded chin and wanted to have it fixed since I was little. As I already have a long face, I told the surgeon that I didn't want it if it would make my face longer, and he assured me it wouldn't. Post surgery, I am very unhappy with the result, as the implant is crooked...

Chin implant: was it worth it?
Chin Implant Information
- Chin implant surgery changes the shape and size of the chin. Chin implants can enhance the appearance of the chin and jawline. The insertion of a chin implant may take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour
- Chin implants are most common in chin surgery, however, some surgeons augment the chin area by using your own tissue and bone or Injectables like Radiesse.
- Implants can be removed and are thus, reversible. Surgery can be done under local anesthesia.
- The downside of implants is that it does not reduce the vertical chin height when this is desired. It can increase chin height (the distance from the lower lip border to the bottom of the chin) if placed lower on the mandible (jawbone).
- A complication risk from chin implants is migration (shifting) of the implanted device or infection.
- Over 13,000 chin augmentations were performed last year, a 51% decline from 2000. More chin implant statistics
