I have a horrible side profile and a relatively long face. I am afraid of getting a chin implant and it adding to my already long face. I've added some photos to show my weird shaped face. My face looks horribly distorted and my neck is large. Large necks run in my family and I hate that. Just looking for some suggestions that would achieve a defined jawline, smaller more feminine neck without bulking my face up more.

Answer: CHIN AUGMENTATION AND LIPOSUCTION OF THE NECK AND CHIN FOR A MORE DEFINED JAWLINE Dear steph267, A chin augmentation would help address your weak chin and combined with liposuction of the neck and chin area will give you a more defined and balanced profile and overall facial aesthetic. The chin implant when placed properly will add projection to the chin and will not further elongate your chin. This is a fairly straight forward procedure in expert hands and is very rewarding for patients with similar facial aesthetics. See the video above and link below for examples. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.

Answer: Weak jawline and chin with a large neck? Hi, I have performed many Chin Augmentations using chin implants for over 30 years. From the photos, your chin is weak. A weak chin creates an imbalance making the nose appear larger, the mid face top heavy and the lower face look short that de-emphasizes the lips and allows early formation of a double chin. Chin augmentation using a chin implant will add projection to the chin creating harmony and balance to the lower face. I have found that placement of a silastic chin implant, through a small curved incision under the chin (also allows excess skin removal) to be very safe, quick and highly effective. I perform chin implant surgery in 30 minutes or less, often using a local anesthetic alone. In my opinion, you are a good candidate for chin implant surgery. There is excess fat in the neck that can be reduced with liposuction at the same time as the chin implant placement.Hope this helps.
