A 26-year-old cosmetic surgery patient came to our plastic surgery clinic requesting improvement of his chin and lips. He wanted more square, masculine chin and mild reduction of his lips. Clinical evaluation revealed a small, narrow chin positioned far behind his protruding lips and nose on profile view. He also demonstrated narrow chin which was over-shadowed by large lips on front view (left). It included placement of a large chin implant through a small incision placed inside of the mouth as well as reduction of upper and lower lips. Preoperative images on the (left); after lip surgery and chin enlargement with silicone implant on the right. Notice increase in chin projection and size on profile view and strong, masculine, square chin and proportionally smaller lips. This gives much more balance and harmony to his entire face
