Chin implant or sliding genioplasty + jaw angle implants? (Photo)

You have two options using either a three implant approach (chin and two jaw angles) or a one-piece custom jawline implant that covers all three areas. By far a custom jawline implant is preferable as it has a much lower risk of revision and asymmetry and can be designed with the precise dimensions one wants before surgery

 A full set of photographs of the face required to make any judgment upon what what can and cannot be accomplished with both procedures. Chin implants  and jaw angle implants are composed of Silastic, are manufactured in a variety of sizes and shapes,  and are used to augment the bony mandible. Jaw implants are placed through an intra-oral approach under general anesthesia to give added with to the angle of the mandible.  A Chin implant can be placed under local anesthesia to give more projection to the chin.

  Hi, based upon the attached photos the chin is a bit weak as is the mandibular angle.  Angularity to the face in these areas will make the face more ruggedly handsome.  Chin augmentation with a chin implant will add harmony and balance to the lower face.  Placing a chin implant is far less invasive than a sliding genioplasty.  I have performed many chin implant surgeries over the past 30 years and have forund them to be safe, quick and highly effective when properly performed.  Augmenting the mandibular angle, with a dermal filler (I prefer Radiesse) can add flare and angularity to the jawline without the unwanted side effects of placing a jaw implant.  Hope this helps.  

You can accentuate the jawline with the augmentation from the chin to the angles. A genioplasty gives the most complete control of the chin area; the mid section and the angles require augmentation materials and will nicely change the outline of the jawline.
