I have always had a problem with the way my neck and chin looked. I always thought the problem was a large adam's apple and bad posture making my neck go forward. I am wondering if getting a chin implant or similar procedure would help fix this problem.
Answer: Weak Chin Consultation 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: Yes! A chin implant. Hi SCM1477,Yes, a chin implant is a great idea for you. We do these right in the office often and the results can be dramatic. You'd expect to be looking good in only about 20 minutes, though swelling lasts a while.I'd strongly suggest seeing a facial plastic surgeon.

Answer: Options for profile improvements Chin enhancement provide a good option for you. It would enhance your facial balance and provide you with a more masculine appearance. In addition, there is poor definition of your neck region. An in-person physical examination would be necessary to determine the most appropriate treatment for your neck - if so desired.

Answer: Do I have a weak chin? Am I a candidate for a chin implant or other procedure? If you have a normal bite, a chin implant will be a great option for you. Based on a frontal view I will be able to determine if a posterior jaw implant is necessary to augment the jaw angles. Seek a plastic surgeon with special training in facial implants, has great reviews and photos, and is an expert in this field.

Answer: Chin Implant and Profile Concerns Thank you for your post and photo. You do appear to have a weak chin, along with an anterior position to your hyoid bone and a small amount of submental fat. Assuming that your dental relationships are normal, improvement in your profile appearance can be considered via a silastic chin implant and suction lipectomy performed at the same time. Surgery on the hyoid is not commonly done, unless you suffer from obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and may benefit from hyoid suspension or resection. Search for an experienced Facial Plastic Surgeon who can evaluate you in person and recommend the appropriate size and style of chin implant which could work the best. Silastic implants are made in various sizes and shapes and selection of the best type requires expertise in chin implant surgery. Please discuss this in detail with your chosen physician. Best wishes.
