Getting a chin implant that makes chin not recede in and dip back out? (Photos)

Jamie DeroeMar 17, 2024

Hello, hope you are well. Thanks for posting your questions and photos. From these photos, it appears that the proportions of your face are relatively normal. Having said that, a pre-formed or custom-fabricated implant can be selected/designed to lengthen the chin. (They can also widen or...

Based on your photos, I believe you would enjoy the appearance of a chin implant, since you have somewhat weak chin projection on profile. I am not certain, however, that the shadowing you describe will improve. Since your chin will be projected forward, the labiomental crease may deepen....
