My chin grew to be uneven. I am curious about a fix (Photo)

Question

when I was little I fell and busted my chin on concrete and didn't seem bad enough to do anything about so the scrape healed and I'm not sure if that could be the possible cause but I'm curious to if there is a treatment to even my chin out preferably to match the smaller side and if so how well would it be treated and how much would the cost be

Yes, a chin implant could improve the shape of your chin. When well placed by an expert, a chin implant can last for decades or a lifetime. You can choose a chin with will give you a better projection and smooth the jawline. A consultation with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon is important; for the patient to be evaluated, their goals discussed, and a custom treatment plan decided upon. Cost will vary due to many factors and can be discussed at your consultation.I hope this helps.

Your chin bony asymmetry can be corrected. by removing bone from the longer side. This can be done y two different methods, an intraoral wedge reduction genioplasty or a submental shave approach. The latter is easier for you to undergo at a lower cost with a more predictable result.
