Chin Implant for a Teenager?

February 24, 2010
Asked By:csmith123478 in Hawaii

I've always been extremely self-conscious about my face, which has a sort of saggy appearance. I am seventeen years old, which I have been told is a bit too young (growth-wise) by my parents. They do not favor the idea of me having cosmetic surgery but know how self-conscious I am. My chin recedes a lot and is extremely short. Would I benefit from a chin implant? I have contemplated this for a long time and feel guilty since my problems are so minuscule compared to problems of others, but I have decided that I would feel much more confident.
