Is my chin implant sitting too low? (photos)

Question

I'm 4 weeks post op and I'm getting the feeling my chin implant, while looking okay on frontal view, is actually positioned too low on my face, or the design was done too long which makes it longer than it should (was a custom designed implant). Could I get your feedback?

Thank you for your picture.  In my opinion, your implants too big. You might want to considering downsizing the implant. The sooner the better so that you do not have stretched out tissue.

It would be very hard to give you a meaningful evaluation and suggestion based on these photos. It is my impression that your implant, at least on this profile view, is too large? A detailed clinical evaluation would help.You should discuss your concerns with your surgeon once swelling and postoperative changes are stable (8-12 months if you could wait). Replacement with smaller implant is an option. Good luck.

You might want to consider jaw surgery or sliding genioplasty for a more natural look. The implant may have shifted or it is too large
