1 Week Post-Op Chin Implant, Necklift, Rhinoplasty, and Lip Surgery, Should I Be Concerned of the Asymmetrical Look of My Face? I'm a healthy young male who had a chin implant with a necklift and rhinoplasty done. I had a "tethered lip" so that was addressed as well. I'm numb like most people are but I can tell I don't have nerve damage. Like most, my lips feel weird and aren't working like normal but I can still talk fine. My concern is my face just looks a little "off" with the skin stretched and the lips are larger than normal and slightly asymmetrical. Do the results and appearance "level" out and look normal?

A: Rhinoplasty, Chin Implant Post-Op Concerns

No, one week is not nearly enough time to see the final results! Check in with your surgeon for any lingering concerns but give it some time.

Am I a Good Candiate for a Chin Implant? I am a 21 year old female. I am interested in getting a chin implant for my weak chin. I was told by my orthodontist 4 years ago that I should get orthognathic surgery but I decided against it. I am happy with my appearance except my chin looks bumpy when my mouth is closed and I have an unbalanced profile. Would I be better for jaw surgery or a chin implant?

A: Chin Implant

This is a common consideration in many patients. If you want any improvement in your occlusion (bite) then you need the orthognathic surgery. If aesthetics is your main desire then a chin implant may very well be a great option. Follow up for an in depth consultation for further evaluation. Good luck!

Chin Implant or Jaw Advancement? I'm a 25 y/o female, with a very weak/small jaw. The distance between my neck and end of chin is very short, but my chin does not look very recessed in relation to the rest of my face. I had braces, when I was younger to correct a moderate overbite (which seems corrected). Would I benefit from a chin implant to strengthen the look of my lower face? Or would a jaw advancement be better? What about a sliding genioplasty?

A: Chin Options

Thanks for the picture. It also depends on your occlusion or bite which really needs to be determined by a consult. Aesthetically, a chin implant can improve the look of your face. You need to find a surgeon with facial experience that you trust and have a consultation. Let them guide you through these decisions. Good luck!
