Do I have a weak enough chin to justify a chin implant? (Photo)

Yes, a chin implant could improve the shape of your chin. When well placed by an expert, a chin implant can last for decades or a lifetime. You can choose a chin with will give you a better projection and smooth the jawline. A consultation with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon is important; for the patient to be evaluated, their goals discussed, and a custom treatment plan decided upon. I hope this helps

I believe you have a good looking chin. The labiomental fold is ideal. I do not see a reason to do any kind of surgery. 

Hello, 
    Thank you so much for your question!  Posterior position of your chin and/or jaw may classified by several terms: gonial or mandibular hypoplasia, micrognathism, microgenia, etc.   With regards to severity, chins can be subjective but there are facial measurements we use. One is the esthetic plane which relates the tip of your nose, chin and lip position. Dropping that plane on your pictures puts your lips anterior to the line due to the posterior position of your Chin! I really enjoy placing facial implants and they can create an amazing and immediate change for my patients. I would recommend one in your case!
Once you decide what you want then you need to look at who will do it!  When it comes to deciding on treatment my best recommendations are to meet your prospective surgeon, check out their facility, review their photo galleries either in the office or online and lastly if you feel the need speak to their prior patients. I always have patients willing to tell prospective patients about their experience in my care. I hope that helps and best wishes on your upcoming proceedures!

 Hi, I have performed many facial shaping procedures, including Chin Augmentation with dermal fillers or silastic chin implants, for over 30 years.  From these photos, your chin does appear to be a bit weak.  When the chin is weak, this creates an imbalance making the nose appear larger, the mid face top heavy, the lower face looks short, de-emphasizes the lips and allows early formation of a "double chin".  
 Proper placement of a silastic chin implant adds forward projection to the chin thereby creating harmony and balance to the lower face.  Using the same incision, liposuction can be performed to reduce the fat and further shape the neck.  Excess skin, from below the chin, can also be removed through the same incision.  
 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 (requires extensive tissue dissection, bone cuts and placement of metal screws and plates to secure the cut segments of bone).  I perform chin implant surgery in 30 minutes or less, often using a local anesthetic alone.  
Hope this helps.

Hi.  Thank you for your question.  I believe you are a good candidate for a chin implant.  It would do a nice job of bringing your face into balance and accentuating the rest of your features.  It is a simple out-patient  procedure with a very high success rate.   Make an appointment with an experienced, Board Certified surgeon and consult in person to go over your options.  Best of luck to you.
