I am 18 and I have a weak chin. Will my chin grow yet?

At age 18, patient's of the mandible bone is probably finished growing, therefore consider a chin implant  to augment the chin forward.  Chin implants are manufactured in a large array of sizes and shapes, and are usually placed through a small incision underneath the chin under local anesthesia as an outpatient surgical procedure.  In our practice, we use Implantech Silastic chin implants for over 25 years with an excellent success rate.  For many before and after results and diagrams of the implants, please see the link and video below

Hi, non smiling photos of your face from the front and side would help in the evaluation.  At 18 years of age, your chin is fully formed and will not enlarge.  The chin is formed by the early teen years becoming its adult size and shape.  I have performed many Chin Augmentations using chin implants for over 30 years.  When the chin is weak, this creates an imbalance making the nose appear larger, the mid face top heavy and the lower face look short that de-emphasizes the lips and allows early formation of a double chin.  Chin augmentation using a chin implant will add projection to the chin creating harmony and balance to the lower face. 





 I have found that placement of a silastic chin implant, through a small curved incision under the chin (also allows excess skin removal) to be very safe, quick, highly effective and far less invasive than a sliding genioplasty.  I perform chin implant surgery in 30 minutes or less, often using a local anesthetic alone.  



Hope this helps.
