I am a 16 year old girl, and I have an extremely saggy chin/ neckline, with lots of loose skin. I would really like to have a defined chin and jawline, my problem runs in the family my mother also had a chin implant done and she is quite happy. Would there be benefits/better results if I was to get it later on?

Answer: Chin augmentation On review of your picture, your chin is somewhat set back. If there is a plastic surgeon in your area with an imaging system, they could show you how a chin implant would look as well as a chin implant and sub mental fat removal. This would best help you appreciate the goals of this surgery and whether it is right for you.

Answer: Chin implant? As a minor, you parents need to be involved in the process, but you appear to be a good candidate for a chin implant (pending face to face exam). Your age does not make that much difference as most of your jaw growth is complete and if there was significant later growth, a large implant is easy to replace.Joe Niamtu, III DMDCosmetic Facial Surgery Richmond, Virginia
