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: 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.
