Upon reviewing the photo you provided, it is apparent that the sunken appearance you are observing is due to a flat midface area. This effect often gives patients a tired or older appearance. There are several techniques and solutions available, each with its own set of advantages and disadvantages. Options include chemical fillers, fat transfer, or implants, all of which can replenish and add volume to the midface, resulting in a more uplifted and present appearance. After considering the various options, I recommend custom-designed implants that are tailor-made for your facial structure. With this approach, you can decide on the desired look you wish to achieve. Additionally, custom-designed implants are permanent and may prove to be more convenient in the long run.
Best,

I have a gaunt, sunken appearance to my face and bags under my eyes that I am not happy with. I always thought allergies were the reason for the bags under my eyes but as I begin to read up, it seems like it could have something to do with my facial structure. That and the fact that my bags bulge out from my eyes and I can see the tail-end of my cheekbone from 2/3 view tells me it may be something else. Can anyone tell me the actual reason for why my face looks the way it does?

Based on your description of a "large" chin implant, I assume that it was a generic one. Generic chin implants are often removed due to the unappealing appearance they create. 
On the other hand, a custom chin implant is tailored to fit your unique anatomy, not categorized as large, medium, or small. Depending on the material used, generic implants can cause bone loss due to friction on the bone and other issues.
When removing your current implant, there is a possibility of chin ptosis depending on the type and size of the incision used. It is important to consider this when deciding on removing the current implant.
A personalized chin implant is created to reduce the risk of complications and attain the aesthetic result you want.

I had a large chin implant 3 months ago and am not satisfied with its appearance. I also recently learned it can lead to bone loss if the implant is too large. If I remove the implant soon, for example, 6 months after surgery, will my chin return to normal or will the shape be different? also would the skin sag if I returned by 6 months?

I understand your concerns about the recommended chin implant. A customized chin implant designed specifically for your needs can indeed enhance your overall look and improve your jawline. 
Unlike standard "small, medium, or large" implants, a custom implant ensures a precise fit and addresses your unique facial features, providing a more natural and harmonious result. You can expect a balanced and aesthetically pleasing outcome by combining the facelift and neck lift with a custom chin implant. The custom implant will complement the other procedures, enhancing the contour of your jawline and harmonizing your facial features.
If you decide not to proceed with the chin implant, it may not necessarily diminish the final results of the facelift and neck lift. However, incorporating the customized chin implant into the overall treatment plan can maximize the potential of the surgery and achieve a more comprehensive and refined transformation.

Doctor has recommended a small chin implant. I've never even thought I had a issue with my chin, but at I get the most of of this surgery. Would this implant change my overall look, would I still look like me? Would it enhance the jawline. Do you agree that it should be recommended? If I don't get it, would it diminish my final results?

Hi,
Thank you for sharing your concerns about your face shape. It would be helpful if you could share a photo of your face, both while smiling and not smiling. This will allow me to better understand the specific areas you are concerned about.
Based on your description, there could be a few potential options to address your concerns. Masseter botox can sometimes be an effective option for temporarily and slightly reducing the width of the face. However, it's essential to consider other factors as well, such as the shape of your facial bony structure and muscle shape and the overall harmony of your facial features.
Other potential procedures are buccal fat pad removal and jaw angle reshaping, which can also help enhance the face's contours and create a more balanced appearance.

Some angles my face shape is the desired V shape but more often I see pictures of myself and hate the width of my face especially when I smile. I have ranged in weight and from 115lbs to 135lbs this has always been an insecurity of mine. Is masseter botox an option for me or is it more to do with the shape of my skull? And what procedures can help me?

I don't like my face shape when I smile my jaw gets very wide. Is there a way to fix this?

I completely understand your concerns and the desire to find the best option for achieving your desired facial profile. Let me address your inquiries one by one:
It's essential to recognize that each individual's facial anatomy is unique, and achieving the precise look you desire often requires a custom approach. While non-custom implants like the Terino Chin Implant and the Vertical Lengthening Chin Implant may offer some standard sizing options, they might not precisely match your specific facial proportions. Using a non-custom implant can potentially lead to issues like uneven results or an unnatural appearance, as it may not cater to your individual needs.
We employ a comprehensive design process that focuses on understanding your aesthetic goals. We take the time to discuss your preferences and expectations, allowing us to create a custom chin implant that perfectly complements your facial features. By utilizing advanced technology and 3D imaging, we can visualize the outcome before the procedure, ensuring that the implant's size and shape harmonize with your unique facial structure.
Custom implants are designed to match your facial contours flawlessly, resulting in a natural and balanced look. We can tailor the implant's dimensions to achieve your desired vertical length and horizontal projection, ensuring an outcome that meets your exact expectations. Custom implants help correct any existing asymmetries, providing a more symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing appearance. With a custom implant, you can expect lasting and consistent results, maintaining the desired changes over time.
By designing an implant specifically for you, we reduce the risk of complications and ensure a safe and successful procedure.
Considering your preference for approximately 8mm vertical length and 10mm horizontal projection, a custom chin implant can be the ideal solution to achieve these measurements accurately and with a natural appearance. While genioplasty might be another option, a custom implant offers a less invasive and more precise method to achieve your desired outcome.
I invite you to schedule a consultation with us, where we can assess your facial structure, discuss your aesthetic goals in detail, and present you with a personalized plan that incorporates a custom chin implant tailored to your preferences.
Best regards

I spoke with a surgeon today and he said the size LARGE Terino Chin Implant can provide the same vertical height as the Vertical Lengthening Chin Implant (Implantech). Is this true? and how can I see how much vertical height a chin implant can give when looking at the sizing on their website? I'm ideally looking for around 8mm vertical length and 10mm in horizontal projection. I know genioplasty would probably be best but what would the best implant be for these measurements? Thank you

Thank you for providing the pictures. I understand how important it is to address your previous experience with jawline and chin fillers and find a suitable solution for your current situation.
Based on the images you've provided, it is evident that you desire a more balanced and harmonious facial profile. A custom chin implant, tailored specifically to your unique facial anatomy, can be the ideal option to achieve the desired outcome.
Unlike fillers or threads, a custom chin implant is designed to fit your facial contours perfectly, providing a natural and symmetrical look. It allows for precise augmentation to address any irregularities and create the ideal balance between your chin and jawline.
While fillers may offer temporary improvements, a custom chin implant provides a permanent solution. It will maintain its shape and position over time, ensuring lasting results.
The procedure for a custom chin implant is relatively straightforward and minimally invasive. It involves a small incision made under the chin or inside the mouth, making a recovery faster and more comfortable.
The custom chin implant can not only improve the projection of your chin but also enhance your jawline definition. This will create a more defined and attractive facial profile. By addressing the unevenness in the front view of your chin and enhancing your jawline, a custom chin implant will help bring better overall facial balance and proportions.
Considering your previous negative experience with fillers, a custom chin implant can be a safe and effective alternative that ensures a predictable and positive outcome.

I’ve had jawline and chin filler once before and it was horrible done and I had a stranage reaction. Would I benefit from a chin implant, mini neck lift, fat dissolving injections, or threads? As you can see by the pictures the front view of my chin is uneven, and the side looks like I haven’t got a jaw or chin.

From the photos you provided, the length of your chin appears proportionate and aesthetically pleasing to me. However, I understand your concern about the long shape that might be visible from the front view. It is important to note that from the profile view as well as from the front view, the high jaw angle can create the sensation of a longer chin.
A potential solution to minimize the perceived long chin look is through the use of custom-designed jaw angle implants. By lowering the angle (radius) of your ramus, the perceived length of your chin can be significantly reduced. This procedure can create a more balanced and masculine appearance, which is often associated with attractiveness and good health.
A comprehensive evaluation and open communication with your surgeon will help you achieve the aesthetic goals you desire.
Best regards,

Hi, I encourage you to take some time to reflect on your questions and objectives in more detail. It is crucial to have a clear and distinct vision of what you want to achieve in terms of your appearance. By understanding your personal aesthetic preferences and dislikes, we can work together to determine the best course of action. From the information you provided, I can offer some suggestions that I believe could be beneficial for you. The imbalance you perceive in your profile look may be related to the relationship between the maxilla, your gums, chin bone, and high gonial angles. I want to emphasize that I find your nose to be masculine and assertive, conveying confidence and presence. While some might think that rhinoplasty could enhance your profile, I do not believe it would be the best approach in your case. Instead, it seems that your jaw angles are higher than ideal, and there appears to be some asymmetry in the photos you shared. Regarding the chin, we need to carefully consider the size of your maxilla, which is notably prominent. This can create the illusion of a weaker chin. Before considering a chin implant or sliding genioplasty, it is crucial to determine the exact type of advancement that will best complement your overall look, both in forward and lateral projections. To simplify and clarify, without knowing your specific preferences, I would recommend considering custom-designed jaw and chin implants. These implants can help restore balance and symmetry to your profile and front views, addressing the perceived imbalance.

Hi, I would to improve my side profile. My lower third of the face and chin seems weak (pictures attached). On top of that, my nose seems proeminent Chin implant would be enough or Genioplasty is necessary ? Or fillers would be better (even if I prefer something permanent) and already tried filler I don't want my labiomental fold to be too deep On top of that, feel free if you would recommand any other surgery such as rhinoplasty or jaw surgery to improve my side profile? Thank you

Would you recommend sliding genioplasty, chin implant or only fillers? (Photos)

Hello,
Regarding your planned double jaw surgery, it's a great idea to consider the additional procedures you mentioned, such as the cheek/infraorbital implants and jaw angle implants, if they are needed. Combining these procedures on the same day can offer several benefits.
Firstly, it allows you and your doctor to visualize the overall effect of all the implants together, ensuring a more harmonious and balanced outcome. This comprehensive approach helps in achieving your desired aesthetic goals.
Moreover, opting for a complete procedure on the same day can be more cost-effective. It means you will have a single expense for the combined surgeries, potentially saving you money compared to doing the additional implants separately on different occasions.
Another advantage is reduced downtime. By undergoing all the procedures together, you'll have a unified recovery period, which can be more convenient and efficient.
As for the cost, prices for these procedures can vary significantly based on factors like your location, the surgeon's fees, and the complexity of the surgeries. There is no standardized price nationally or internationally, so it's best to have a discussion with your chosen practitioner to get specific cost estimates and understand the expectations.

Hi, I'm currently planning on getting double jaw surgery including a sliding genioplasty to fix my anterior open-bite and mandibular retrusion. Jaw surgery should also improve my airway so less breathing through my mouth. After DJS, I want to get custom PEEK implants to improve the aesthetic components of my face. I want jaw angle implants and possibly cheek/orbital floor implants if necessary. How much would custom PEEK implants cost?

Custom PEEK facial implants

Hello,
In cases like yours, a thorough understanding of your specific needs is crucial to achieving the best possible outcome.
When addressing facial asymmetries or other enhancements, and if the chosen approach involves implants, custom-designed implants are the most suitable option. They ensure the most precise fit for both asymmetrical requirements and any other facial implant enhancements.
It's important to note that fillers, while a popular choice, are not permanent and can often be more expensive and less predictable than custom-designed implants.
Based on your situation, you might benefit from a combination of neck/jaw liposuction and custom-designed implants to achieve the desired results.
Furthermore, it's essential to think beyond small, medium, or large sizes when considering implants. Custom implants are tailored to suit your individual needs, offering the best fit and fewer potential complications in the future.
Best regards,

My surgeon is using implantech conform implants however he wants to use the large ones with 1.4cm or 14mm width for both sides but I'm nervous that they will be too large and make me look blocky with that much lateral projection. My goal is to have the width like the other pics I posted. I've read that the bigonial width should be about 90% of the bizygomatic width so that's my goal.

Would the implants that I've been recommended be too big for aesthetic goals? (Photo)
