I've dislike my weak chin for a long time now, and finding it hard to accept it... i'm unsure whether its just in my head or there is merit to having something done? Im nervous about getting something done, I understand two mini screws hold the chin implant but wouldn't that cause problems if you needed an MRI scan? Im unsure the best path to go down e.g. should I try some NLP sessions? Deep down I don't feel very attractive.
Answer: Chin Implant, Break The Jaw, Or Leave It It's best to begin by consulting with a surgeon in-person to discuss your options. During your initial examination, your #chin will be evaluated along with the neck and jawline. A weak #chin implies a lack of chin support for the skin along the neck line. In younger individuals a chin implant alone is usually all that is needed to improve the appearance of the neck. Subsequently, it will also improve the overall #balance of the face and can create the illusion of a smaller nose. As a stand-alone procedure, chin augmentation can be performed in the office under local #anesthesia. For individuals with signs of #aging in the neck, a chin implant added to one of the recommended procedures above, will provide optimal results. Liposuction under the chin is also another option your doctor can discuss. If you are not a candidate for chin or neck rejuvenation at the time of your #consultation, your board certified plastic surgeon can recommend alternatives to address your concern.

Answer: Find the right surgeon for you Without an exam your question cannot be answered. You will need to see an Oral/Maxillofacial surgeon to see if othognathic surgery, genioplasty or using an implant is best for your specific case. It should be noted that patients with severely weak jaws or abnormally functioning jaws may be better treated with other facial surgery (orthognathic surgery), although a chin augmentation may be an option at a later time. These patients should seek the advice of a plastic surgeon to determine which course is right for them. Here is some information to help you make this decision: Candidates for Chin Augmentation - Patients whose chin profiles are weak but have normally functioning jaws are candidates for Chin Augmentation. Many of these candidates have used injectable fillers in the past to strengthen the protrusion of their chins, but are looking for a permanent solution. If you are one of these patients, then you are a likely candidate for chin augmentation

Answer: Chin Augmentation The computer imaging demonstrates what can be done. Now the question is the best way to accomplish it. Unless you need to improve your bite breaking the jaw and moving it forward is not necessary. The debate is between a chin implant and a sliding genioplasty. If you look carefully at the computer imaging your chin has gotten vertically shorter it was brought forward. A sliding genioplasty is best to make that type of dimensional chin change.

Answer: Would it be better to get a chin implant, break the jaw, or leave it? Hi, I have performed many facial shaping procedures, including Chin Augmentation with dermal fillers or silastic chin implants, for over 30 years. From the photos, your chin, mandibular angles and cheeks are quite weak. When the chin is weak, this creates an imbalance making the nose appear larger, the mid face top heavy, the lower face looks short, de-emphasizes the lips and allows early formation of a "double chin".

Answer: Chin Implant Hi. Thank you for your question. You are a fantastic candidate for a chin implant. It is a very easy procedure and could really help your self esteem. It requires a tiny incision only underneath your chin and out of sight. It does not require screws. An experienced surgeon will make a perfect pocket to slide the implant in and it should fit like a glove and have nowhere to move around so no need for any anchoring. Do your research and go see a reputable surgeon. Best of luck to you.
