Can Chin Implants Increase a Chins Vertical Height?

A chin implant can increase the vertical height depending on the angle of your chin.  If you mandible or chin bone is angled slightly downward, then an implant can increase the vertical height.  If the chin bone is angle in a plane perpendicular to the ground, the the increase in vertical height will be limited with a chin implant.  

Generally, chin implants are designed to increase the forward projection of the chin rather than the vertical height. This is because the implant is placed on the flat anterior surface of the mandible bone, rather than the undersurface of this bone. However, by using a widely based chin implant, the apparent vertical height can, in fact, be  increased.

Additional chin implant styles are also now being produced with the goal of adding vertical height vs focusing exclusively on the more common goal of achieving more forward chin projection. Click on the link below to see samples of patient before & after chin implant surgery results.

  A chin implant can give vertical height improvement but that is not the primary goal. Most patients will gain a few millimeters of vertical height due to  angle of inclination of the mandible itself. The primary goal of a chin implant is to get more forward projection for a receding chin.  Chin implants are 3-dimensional, and also improve the lateral width as well.  Please see the link and the video below for examples chin implants
