Why is Chin Implant Not a Solution for Receding Chin?

January 14, 2010
Asked By:sybraceface in cleveland

I went to a plastic surgeon to ask about a chin implant and he told me that I am not a candidate. I have a really weak chin due to my jaw. I can have jaw surgery but I am not because I don't want to do a really big surgery. He said that having a chin implant will alter my face and look like a bump on my chin. I am confused.
