There are a variety of implants as well as implant shapes. There are even implants systems that combine a variety of implants to improve the overall projection and width of the mandible.I have included a link to illustrate these below. I must add that these are difficult to insert and have some complications rates that make the not very popular.
Hello,With a prejowl and chin implant, it is possible to add significant width to the mandible. Hope this helps answer your question.Dr. Nassif
Just about all of the Chin Implants I've used over the last 10 years have been "extended-anatomical implants" that project your chin and wrap around the front of your jaw. These implants lead to a natural contour and will add width to the front of your jawline.I've attached a link to my Chin Implant photos for your perusal.I hope this is helpful, and best regards.
Depending on the surgeon's goal and the particular implant and its placement, the implant can provide a variable degree of FORWARD projection as well as VERTICAL HEIGHT to the chin (=front of the jaw).Among the problems encountered with simple onlay implants (encapsulation, movement, warping, rotation, erosion of the underlying bone, exposure etc) has been that on occasion they were just too short causing a depression on the sides between where the implants ended and the anterior edge of the masseter, the great chewing muscle began. The wrap-around implants were designed to be very long in an effort to get around these side dips. BUT - they are NOT supposed to increase any volume to the sides, on the contrary, their job is NOT call attention to the fact you have an implant by doing away with the depressions.Hope this was helpful.
There are many styles and sizes of chin implants. Visit with a surgeon with significant experience and try a number of them on as trials and have proper measurements made of your face. Your surgeon should be able to tell you what to expect.
Without photos and an exam it is impossible to give you accurate advice. It is possible that you will get some correction naturally due to your young age. If this does not occur in the next few years a chin augmentation is a relatively simple procedure successful for most patients but depending...
The fullness under the chin can be a combination of structrual anatomy and fat deposit. A chin sling probably will not change this. Short of some surgical intervention, for example, sliding genioplasty, liposuction, or a combination there is not permanant change. Good luck to you.
Options for a double chin are plentiful now. They range from neck liposuction, coolsculpting, or kybella. If you are over the age of 45, in general, you want to talk to your plastic surgeon about how you will address any skin laxity that could be present after fat reduction. All of the mo...
Radiesse and hyalunic acids (such as juvederm and restylane) can be used soften the profile of the jawline and increase volume to provide a better proportioned jaw.
Its possible the smile can change due to injections, implants, or bone rearrangement. There are many different muscles that affect smile that may be affected during surgery. Speak with your surgeon to address any concerns. "Dr.D"
Chin implants simply never achieve the results of a genioplasty. A well trained Plastic and reconstructive surgeon can achieve precisely planned lengthening in the vertical direction as well as advancement by deisgning the type of osteotomy. Chin implants are easy and big money...
