Should I Get a Chin Implant? (photo)

I have a weak chin and no definition in the neck/jawline I want a more sculpted face and better profile. I am hoping chin augmentation along with neck liposuction will fix this. Can I achieve the results I want through an implant? or what would you recommend?

Chin implant and liposuction for a more defined jawline

A chin implant can certainly be performed to add more projection to the chin and give a stronger jaw line. Liposuction in the neck can accentuate the jaw line as well. Both of these procedures can be performed under a local anesthesia and will take approximately an hour to perform.

Chin Implant - Candidate Criteria

From you photos it would appear you are a good candidate for a chin implant and possibly submental liposuction (exam needed first). Here is what you need to know about chin implant surgery: Candidates for Chin Augmentation Patients whose chin profiles are weak but have normally functioning jaws are candidates for Chin Augmentation.

Yes. You are a candidate for a chin implant and very conservative liposuction of your jawline area. This would refine your profile view and improve your chin position. I hope this information is helpful. Stephen Weber, M.D. Lone Tree Facial Plastic Surgeon

Chin implant would help create a stonger profile

Looking at the pictures you provided I would say a small chin implant would give you the angularity and strength of a jawline you desire. I would have to fully examine you to determine if liposuction would be necessary to add additional refinement. Usually younger individuals can get away with simple neck liposuction is areas that are resistant to overall weight loss regimens because skin elasticity is so good. Both procedures can be done under straight local or with sedation in the office.... more

Chin implant

Either a chin implant or simply moving your chin point forward some would improve your profile. With your age, you may want to consider a bony chin surgery - it takes about the same time in experienced hands, and you won't have to deal with a piece of silicone or plastic in your chin (which will cause the bone to erode over time). That said, either procedure could help you accomplish your cosmetic goals. From your pictures, liposuction is unnecessary. Hope this... more

Chin implant

From your pictures, it does appear that chin augmentation surgery would improve your profile. I do not see where liposuction of the neck would help however. So my recommendation would be for the chin implant without liposuction of the neck.
