What size chin implant would you recommend? (Photos)

Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, it is difficult to give you a specific recommendation based on the images you provided. I would need to assess you in person and have a detailed discussion about your cosmetic goals in order to determine the right size implant for you. I can tell you that your choice of surgeon is the most important to ensure a successful procedure. Make sure you work with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon who will have the expertise to know the best implant option for you.

It appears that a chin implant would make a beautiful difference to your jawline. Truthfully, however, without a physical examination, it is impossible to determine what size you would need. At the very least, a view of the full face would be helpful, because faces are not just disparate parts that assemble to make a whole, but should have harmony (which manifests as beauty) when these different parts properly relate to each other. As a board certified plastic surgeon, I prefer to insert the implant intraorally, rather than putting a scar on the outside of your chin. I often carve implants to perfectly fit my patients’ anatomy. Please consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon for an in -person consultation to ensure the best outcome.

There are many aspects that go into the sizing for chin enhancement surgery. Photos, clinical exam and sometimes a 3D CT. In females, the use of larger implants can sometimes make the chin appear wider and masculine. The depth of the mentolabial fold is always a consideration. In large advancements, I often prefer a genioplasty to provide the most natural appearance ( moving your own chin forward).
