Chin Implant on 16 Year Old Female Possible?

asked 11 months ago by windyskies in QLD, Australia

My 16 year old daughter has always been extremely self-conscious about her chin, and she is now thinking about getting a chin implant. I've included a photo of her side profile - would she be a good candidate for this?

She is emotionally very strong and mature, but is she physically too young (if so, what is a suitable age for a chin implant)? Thanks, Robyn

Chin implantation at 16 years old

A chin implant could be considered at this stage in your daughter. It's important to realize that if she has dental occlusion issues (i.e., her tooth allignment is off) oral surgery may be something to consider instead as this treats both things. It's important to consult with a few surgeons to see what options you have. I find that in-office computer morphing is invaluable in deciding what level of chin augmentation is desired.

Chin Implant

Hello, 16 years of age for girls is ok to have a chin implant. Based on her side profile photo, your daughter appears to be a good candidate for a chin implant. It would balance out her profile nicely. Thank you, and I hope this helps answer your question. Dr. Nassif
