Recessed jaw. What procedures would enhance my side profile? (photo)

Your profile photograph indicates that the lower jaw is slightly small, with a somewhat recessed chin. Additionally, the relatively deep labiomental sulcus suggests that a chin implant might provide more natural and effective enhancement than genioplasty in your case.

To fully visualize the potential changes, I recommend a consultation that utilizes 3D computer imaging and simulation. This approach will allow you to review the adjustments from multiple angles—profile, oblique, and frontal—helping you understand the overall impact on your facial aesthetics and determine the best implant design for you.

Feel free to ask any further questions or schedule a consultation to explore your options in more detail!

That depends on how aggressive you want to be. The best procedure would be to consider a jaw advancement surgery. Beyond that, you could do a chin implant and/or filler.

Based on the single profile photo, you would likely benefit from either a chin implant or sliding genioplasty. Sometimes one procedure is better than the other depending on the individual needs. Both procedures will provide greater chin projection.

You would benefit from a chin implant. This is done through an intra-oral approach under general anesthesia, takes about 1 hour to perform and costs $4,000.

Best Wishes,

Based on your singular photo, you appear to have a weekly projected chin. Perhaps, 9 to 10 mm of chin augmentation would help to balance your facial profile appearance. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr. Joseph
