Hello and nice finding you! I really need to ask you a question and i uploaded a photo for you to have a more clear view.I want to improve my chin.I don't have problem in biting,despite having a retrusion (my lower and upper teeth don't fit) but I don't want to fix this problem anyway.I only want to improve my chin.Can I use large or extra large implant to do the job because I want to avoid to interfere by breaking jaw etc or there is no other way?? Thanks a lot to everyone!

Good or bad candidate for chin augmentation

The best option for retrusive chin is to perform a chin augmentation, which can be done under local anesthesia.

Chin implants can do wonders for the jawline.

Hi. Going by your picture, you seem like an excellent candidate for chin augmentation.

In men, it is OK to go a little larger. see video

Good Candidate For Chin Implant

You would be a good candidate for chin implant augmentation. What size and style of chin implant that would suit you the best requires additional pictures from the front view as well as computer imaging predictions. This will allow you to participate in the implant selection process.
