Chin implant candidate?

It does look like a chin implant would improve your profile. Skin fillers such as radiesse can be used to temporarily augment the chin area with the filler lasting about a year.

The implant can be done either under just local anesthesia, IV sedation or general anesthesia.

Would a chin implant improve my front and side profile?

Hello, you are a good candidate for a chin implant. It will improve your front view and side profile. Schedule a consultation with a Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon. At your consultation the surgeon will do some photo morphing so you can get a good idea of what you can expect your result to be. Good luck to you.

How Would You Recommend I Treat My Intrusive Chin?

Dear Matt, You have a retrusive chin. Your chin should be at the same exact plane as your lower lip on lateral view. Since your chin is behind that point, I would recommend a chin implant.

You seem to be a good candidate for a chin implant for both front and side view improvements. Make sure to consult with your surgeon about not only the implant's size, but also its shape to get the appropriate style for your face.

Non-surgical chin enhancement

Thanks for the photos. For subtle and natural chin augmentation, Radiesse injections in our practice have been effective. Although a single injection is usually temporary, clinically lasting up to a year, the incorporation of calcium in the chin contours can be seen to build up over several sessions with longer lasting effects.

Chin implant

It is likely a chin implant would improve your appearance. To be sure, I would have to see you in person to see how you look over a range of dynamic expressions such as smiling and speaking. There should be nothing that is as cost effective for changing the jawline as a surgically inserted chin implant. I think fillers are a poor second choice and may be more costly over a lifetime.
