“Chin Implant to Give my Face a More Aligned Profile”
Posted 15 Sep 2009
Hi, I had a chin implant previously to give my face a more aligned profile.
I had originally envisioned a 'hollywood chin' i.e one where the lower lip is alligned to the chin. (Think Lucy liu's chin for eg)
Nevertheless, a few months after surgery, I find that my side profile is still weak (stronger then before but still weak). My Dr did not want to put in a larger chin implant as he said it would look unnatural, and there would be a 'gap' between the lip and chin implant especially when i smile.
- lack of using imagery to clearly envision the dr's and patients idea of outcome
- i did it because i wanted a stronger side profile
- my chin is originally slightly weak (it is not severe)
I just wanted to ask for a second opinion regarding how chin implants impact your side profile especially when you smile and how large you should go/ how far you should differ your chin from your original one.This review is the subjective opinion of a RealSelf member and not of RealSelf, Inc.
