Have been wondering for awhile if my chin is receded and if I would need an augmentation done? Or what would I need done for a more masculine looking jaw/chin?
Answer: Receding chin? 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 #weakchin #chinimplant

Answer: Yes it's receded It would be helpful to see a front view so we can see what type of implant would help the profile view and at the same time improve the frontal view - whether your face will be too long, or if you need lengthening from a frontal view. Also would help to see if you need a wide chin or a narrower one.

Answer: Recessed chin More photos and a clinical exam are needed to determine what treatment is best. In general, silicone implants placed through a small incision below the chin can improve the profile and provide a more masculine look. The implants are permanent but can easily be removed if your appearance did not meet your expectations. Good luck

Answer: Receding chin Dear zpenirian,it is hard to tell based only on one photo. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a detailed examination you will know for sure do you have a receding chin. If you do, then chin augmentation is an option for you.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, Am. Society of Plastic Surgery
