Chin Implant and Submental Liposuction
Dear Jaxmaxwax,
Your photographs indicate that you would benefit from a chin implant. Chin augmentation would help in bringing your features into aesthetic harmony. Under direct examination I may suggest submental liposuction which would further define your jaw line. I use digital imaging during my consulting process which allows the patient to see their proposed surgical result. The imaging computer would allow you to see how the proposed chin augmentation will align your profile....

Chin implant for receding chin
Your pictures do appear to indicate that you would be a potential candidate for chin augmentation. I would be careful in not getting an implant that moves your chin too far forward though, as I think this was cause some imbalance to your face.

Indeed you have a bit of a weak chin which can be improved with a small silastic chin implant. Submental liposuction will give a more defined jawline and accentuate the new chin. Both can be performed under local anesthesia as an outpatient procedure

Chin implant for lower facial proportions
Based on your photos, you do seem to be a good candidate for chin implant placement.
With you skin type, if you have any history of poor scarring, you may consider placing the implant from inside your mouth rather than risk an incision under your chin healing poorly.

Do I Need Chin Implant Surgery for my Retruded Chin and Protruded Mouth?
Yes a chin enhancement could help improve your appearance. I might consider fat grafting before a silastic implant though. Seek in person evaluations.

Well-performed chin implant surgery may improve the appearance of your retrusive chin.
I reviewed your concerns and your photos.
Your large lips are attractive, in my opinion, and I agree that you have a bit of a retrusive, weak chin. You may benefit from a consultation with a reputable surgeon to discuss the suitability of chin implant surgery and neck liposuction. Computer imaging may be helpful for you to visualize what to expect after well-performed surgery.
Hope this is helpful for you.
