Chin Implant: Q&A

Different types of chin implants?

I'm interested in getting a chin implant to enhance a weak chin. I also would like my jaw to be enhanced as well, and I was wondering if a chin implant with "wings" that extend towards my jaws would enhance my jawline significantly. Also, do they make square chin implants with wings? I am most interested in a square shaped implant. Thank you (:

Different types of chin implants

Chin implants these days come in multiple different styles and sizes. Discuss with your surgeon specifically what you are trying to achieve so that the proper implant size and style can be selected.

There is a square chin implant with wings.

So your jaw should be enhanced as well as your chin.
