Does my deep mentolabial fold prevent me from being a chin implant candidate or being able to obtain a good/natural looking result from a chin implant? I'm looking to increase the width, horizontal length, and vertical length of my chin if possible. Thank you for your responses.

Answer: Chin Augmentation and the Labiomental Groove While most forms of chin augmentation will potentially deepen the labiomental groove, adding a vertical component to the chin augmentation will add some 'protection' from it. Vertical lengthening of the chin can be done by a vertical lengthening chin implant or a sliding genioplasty, each with their own advantages and disadvantages.

Answer: Chin implant candidate Chin implants are not designed to help with a deep mental labial fold. Chin implants are composed of Silastic, are placed on the front part of the bony mandible to give added projection to that portion of the chin. Chin implants are manufactured in a variety of sizes, are composed of Silastic, and can be custom carved according to patient's unique anatomy when needed. For many examples and more information, please see the video and the link below
