Chin Implant Surgery Procedure

Absolutely - in fact, longer (or more forward) is one the key reasons to get a chin implant. Fewer people need a wider chin, unless they want to masculinize the face. Lengthening the chin (to the proper proportion with the lower lip and rest of the face) can make your nose look better, and even improve wrinkles and fat under the neck. I'd suggest meeting with an experienced facial plastic surgeon for an individual consultation. Good luck!

Hello, There are a wide range of chin implants in different sizes and shapes that may definitely suit your needs.  In order to receive the best advice on a chin implant, I would advise you to consult a highly skilled facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon who has a great deal of experience performing chin implants. He or she will be able to morph a digital photo, and give you an idea of what the final result may look like. Please feel free to ask me any additional questions... more

Chin Implants To Increase Length

The answer is yes. There are wide variety of chin implants from different manufacturers that can be used to make your chin longer. I prefer silastic implants as Dr. Portuese pointed out. They come in sufficient sizes and shapes to accommodate most patients' desires. Often times digital imaging can help in the decision making process when it comes to chin augmentation using an implant.

Yes, there are implants that increase the length of the chin.  We prefer silastic chin implants made by Implantech, which are available in various shapes and sizes.  To better meet the needs of each individual patient, the implant can be also be modified by your surgeon.

Chin implant

Chin implants can elongate and widen your chin if indicated.  They are made of soft silicone and usually placed through a small external skin incision under the chin.  There are most complicated surgeries available including autogenous bone grafts.
