Would Jaw Implants Help a Female to Balance Lower Half of Face Out?

I currently have a chin implant (put in 7 years ago) but am still not satisfied with the lower half of my face. (My current implant is one that wraps around.) I would like it to be more balanced out and am wondering if I'm a candidate for a jaw implant/and new chin implant combo? I feel like I need more vertical length to my chin and would like my face to be a slightly wider around the jaw area. I also have Radiesse right now to help with this and would like a more permanent solution.

I would be conservative though and go with smaller rather than larger... more

Today, many silastic chin... more

To improve facial balance, your long-term cosmetic options with plastic surgery include replacing with a larger chin implant, jaw bone advancement surgery, or both. Chin implants come in various sizes & shapes and are normally made of silicone, but other materials are available. Vertical height of the chin is better managed with chin or jaw surgery, where the bone is advanced... more

Yes, but over the internet with only 1 photo (front view NO side view) it is impossible to answer. Seek in person evaluation from a boarded surgeon. From MIAMI Dr. B
