I have a chin implant that goes along jaw line but my chin isn't attractive. It's square and straight. I'd like it defined more and a ball on it and indent. Can anything be done? Thank you very much. Sharon

Chin too square after implant placement

Chin Implant Shape

Yes, you can inject filler in a different plane then the implant to help change the look of the chin. Other then that, I would change out the implant for another shape.
