Chin implant, right fit for me? (Photo)

Thank you for your question and sharing your photographs.

It is difficult to evaluate the appearance from the front view in selfies as the face generally appears narrower and more elongated.

I suggest that you should discuss your concerns with your surgeon and see what solution they are proposing to begin with.

Alternatives include:
- Replacement of the implant with one that predominantly advances the chin projection without increasing the vertical dimension. This could be a Medpor or custom made PEEK implant
- Replacement of the implant and genioplasty
- Replacement of the implant and advancement of the lower jaw and chin
- Replacement of the implant and injectable filler

It may help to do a simulation using computer imaging in 3D to understand better what it is that you wish to achieve with the chin augmentation to allow you to move forward. If various computer simulations do not produce an image that you like better, it may be preferable to keep the current implant.

Hello! Thank you for your question.I have evaluated your case regarding the information you provided and your photos.It looks like a too big implant have been used for you. What can be done is to remove your implant and use a smaller implant, with shorter wings (or even without wings, it needs to be checked during face-to-face consultation). A different shaped implant would give you a more feminised look.

It appears that despite the chin implant, your chin is still recessive in the lateral photo. In addition, there is lack of a definition of your mentolabial fold. I would recommend a CT to evaluate the current position of the implant. You may want to have the implant removed and undergo a sliding genioplasty procedure. This procedure will give you additional forward projection yet maintain a narrow natural look.
