Chin Implant

There are many different chin implants that can change angles of your face depending on the needs of your face.

At any rate, you need to start with a surgeon with significant experience in facial surgery and sit down for a consultation. Good luck!

Chin implant for chin augmentation.

From you photos, you look like a great candidate for a chin implant. They are usually done trough an inside-the-mouth incision. The exact type of inplant will be chosen during your office visit. There are many different configurations, and an experienced surgeon will pick one that will give projection and blend into the surround chin line. Make sure you are not given too large an implant. This will over project the chin and should be avoided. more

Chin augmentation may be done with Surgery or with Fillers

You have a very nice looking face. I would not characterize you chin as being weak as much as I would say it is average. Adding a little to your chin would have the same effect to your face as wearing makeup around your eyes. If done artfully, it won't change your face but it will give it that "wow" effect. Your cheeks will look smaller and your neck will be improved. Because your chin is average and not necessarily "weak", you are a... more

Is chin implantation an option

From your photos it does appear that improving your chin projection would help balance out your profile. Chin implants are a great way to do this. You should consult with a few board certified facial plastic surgeons or plastic surgeons to see if you're a good candidate and to perform digital morphing to show you what results are possible.

Natural looking chin implant and lip augmentation

Looking at your photos, you seem to be an excellent candidate for a chin implant. The key thing for women is to use the smallest implant possible that will make a nice improvement. I almost always use the smallest size, because it looks more feminine. I have removed chin implants placed by other surgeons that were too large and gave a "witchy" look. The ching should blend from the jaw line, not look like it was stuck on. I also make the incision inside the mouth so there won't... more

Chin Implant

No one wants to look like they have had something done. The goal is always to look natural with results that are balanced with the rest of your face. Depending on your goals, you may benefit from a chin implant to improve your profile appearance. I would recommend that you consult with a board certified specialist in the face to help you achieve the results you desire.

An Alternative to Surgical Chin Implant

You mentioned that you can barely afford one surgical procedure. Why not try the non-surgical chin augmentation? For less time and money (not to mention no recovery), you can have the same results. Plus, you can guide the procedure with your doctor, so that you create the chin you want. This is important, as you can see for yourself that here on Realself chin augmentations have only a 57% satisfaction rate. see video

Cosmetic surgery

If you can hardly afford the chin surgery, what if complications happen? How you are going to pay for that if you needed another procedure????
