Want to improve side profile - am I a candidate for a chin implant? (photos)

Hello, and thank you for your question. You have plenty of options for enhancing your profile. A chin implant, along with dermal fillers or facial fat transfer, can enhance your natural bone structure, giving you a much more structured, streamlined, and masculine look. Injectables are very effective in contouring the jawline and creating a sharper profile, strengthening the chin, and reducing the appearance of jowls. I recommend only seeking treatments from reputable board-certified facial plastic surgeons, particularly those with extensive experience with chin augmentation techniques. Your surgeon will do a proper evaluation, recommend the best treatment or combination of treatments, use digital photography to show projected results, and ensure the best possible outcome.

For a more defined jawline to strengthen your profile (and help prevent the dreaded jawline "jowl" sagging), we use injectable fillers like Revanesse Versa - a filler known to limit swelling and give subtle, soft enhancements - or Radiesse. Using a cannula to limit pain and swelling, we inject on the bone in strategic points to get more lift and shaping, resulting in a more contoured lower face and defined, structured jawline. I would suggest getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

In the profile picture your chin projection is good but it appears that your chin is short. I would recommend that facial balance would improve with a sliding genioplasty to lengthen your chin. the surgery is done in the office with sedation and takes about an hour. You can return to work in 3-5 days and no braces are required.
