Is either my chin or maxilla receded? Everyone always asks me if I'm tired or high, and I read that droopiness of the face can occur because of a receded lower part of face. If I do, how can this be corrected? The pics are of the right and left sides of my face.
Answer: Do you have a receding chin? Without an exam your question cannot be answered. You will need to see an Oral/Maxillofacial surgeon to see if othognathic surgery, genioplasty or using an implant is best for your specific case. It should be noted that patients with severely weak jaws or abnormally functioning jaws may be better treated with other facial surgery (orthognathic surgery), although a chin augmentation may be an option at a later time. These patients should seek the advice of a plastic surgeon to determine which course is right for them. Here is some information to help you make this decision: Candidates for Chin Augmentation - Patients whose chin profiles are weak but have normally functioning jaws are candidates for Chin Augmentation. Many of these candidates have used injectable fillers in the past to strengthen the protrusion of their chins, but are looking for a permanent solution. If you are one of these patients, then you are a likely candidate for chin augmentation

Answer: Weak chin and cheeks A comprehensive evaluation including frontal facial photos and X-rays would be most helpful. Based on the photos available, you are likely a candidate for rhinoplasty and chin and cheek implants to improve overall facial balance. It is possible that corrective jaw surgery could also provide an improved outcome if you are willing to go that route.

Answer: Do i have a receding chin or maxilla? From your photo,it appears that your chin is a little recessive.This would improve quite nicely with a chin implant.Your profile would be more balanced and stronger.

Answer: Face From a facial proportions standpoint, your chin is recessive, your nose is a bit long and your midface/cheeks flat. In essence you are correct on both counts (receding chin and maxilla) Whether that combination is what makes your appearance look like those comments I can not say. But from changing your facial proportions, chin and midface augmentations would be beneficial.

Answer: Do I have a receding chin or maxilla? From the limited photographs side profile, it appears that there is a weak and recessive chin profile for which a chin implant can improve. A full set of facial photographs required to make a determination about a deficient maxilla. Chin implants are placed for patients to have a weak and recessive chin profile, and a usually inserted through a small incision underneath the chin under local anesthesia. Cheek implants are placed under general anesthesia through a small incision above the gumline through an intraoral approach. Both chin and cheek implants are composed of solid silicone, and can be custom carved when necessary to match patient's unique anatomy. For diagrams of the implants, and many before and after examples of chin/cheek implants, please see the link and video below
