Hi, I'm hoping to get some professional opinions on my facial profile. My biggest concern is my lack of chin, because it's very flat and weak. So I took a photo and did some photoshopping to see whether a chin implant (or chin osteotomy?) would improve the aesthetics (below). I've added a front view image to help explain what I mean by "flat" chin. If it's any help to add, my dentist tells me that my teeth are perfect so there's no underbite or overbite All opinions are appreciated
Answer: Is Your Chin Receding It is difficult to confirm online based on your photos, but you may benefit from a chin implant. To know for sure, I suggest beginning with an in-person consultation to discuss your options. During your initial examination, your #chin will be evaluated along with the neck and jawline. A weak #chin implies a lack of chin support for the skin along the neck line. In younger individuals a chin implant alone is usually all that is needed to improve the appearance of the neck. Subsequently, it will also improve the overall #balance of the face and can create the illusion of a smaller nose. As a stand-alone procedure, chin augmentation can be performed in the office under local #anesthesia. For individuals with signs of #aging in the neck, a chin implant added to one of the recommended procedures above, will provide optimal results. Also, #liposuction under the chin is also another option your doctor can discuss. If you are not a candidate for chin or neck rejuvenation at the time of your #consultation, your board certified plastic surgeon can recommend alternatives to address your concern. However, there may be additional options to improve the appearance of your concern to improve the overall balance of your face. Such can be best evaluated in-person. Consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in #face, #neck and #chin procedures is important to ensure you are receiving the best advice, care, and surgical experience possible.

Answer: Chin Implant
If you have a normal bite, then a silicone chin implant will produce the desired result with minimal down time. The surgery involves a small incision inside your month or under you chin, through which a silicone implant of desired size and shape is placed over your chin. This will enhance your chin projection and/or lenght.

Answer: Correcting microgenia or a small chin
If your bite is normal, I would recommend an extended anatomic chin implant that will help to add length as well as increase the up and down or superior and inferior extension of your chin. The newer chin implants conform to the bone and can bring the whole chin forward. I hope this information helps.
