Which procedure would be best for correcting the appearance of a weak, recessed chin? (photo)

A formal evaluation would be needed to determine the best treatment. There are surgical and non-surgical options to correct this.

We can place a chin implant, which is a quick surgical procedure. Many of my patients try to avoid surgery, however, so for those patients, we also offer non-surgical chin augmentation with injectable fillers. Fillers like Radiesse, Voluma, BellaFill, and Sculptra are injected into the area to improve the overall appearance of the lower face and balance the jaw and lip harmony. We use cannula injections to meticulously contour and project the chin, soften the chin along the jawline, and improve the chin crease.

Implants are a great option once you are ready for permanent chin enhancement.​ I suggest getting a consultation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert, or an aesthetic facial plastic surgeon like Dr. Donald Groves; we are both located right here in Los Angeles.

Best,
Dr. Emer

Depending on your examination, an injectable filler procedure may be considered as well. Please consider meeting with several reputable facial plastic surgeons who are for computer imaging so you could see what to expect. Thank you for your question. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

You would benefit from a chin implant. This is done intra-orally, takes an hour to perform under general anesthesia and costs $4,000.

Best Wishes,
