I have a concern about my look. As you can see in my side view photos, my chin is weak and my lips are so full, I can't identify causes of these problems. Could you please let me know how to resolve these issues. Thank you
Answer: Augmentation genioplasty You need an augmentation genioplasty with bone supply (hip grafting, likely, from the iliac bone) to make your chin gron in three axes:-vertically, to achieve profile view balance with your maxilla and frontal thirds of the face-horizontally (not visible but likely too), to masculinize-anteriorly, to gain the missing projectionBeware! never ever accept chin implants or fillers, they lead to complications, unhappy patients, poor results and actually don't provide what your chin evidently needs: augmentation in 3 spatial axes.Seek the help of a surgeon with experience in multidimensional genioplasties (beware, you are NOT a case for a basic and simple sliding genioplasty).If you wish better grounded opinion well lit, focused and standard images have to be assessed: frontal, both lateral and both oblique views, also underneath the nostrils. Feel free to request any additional information from me.

Answer: Weak chin? Implants or fillers You have a few options to improve your chin and profile. If you’re not sure you’re ready for surgery, but still want to improve and strengthen your chin and profile, I’d suggest augmenting your chin with Sculptra and/or Voluma. If you like your new look, you can make it permanent with a chin implant. I hope that helps.

Answer: Chin implant Dear hungpk7777,it is hard to tell for sure without an examination, but based on your photos you might be a candidate for chin augmentation. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

Answer: Full lips and weak chin, how can I fix this? Dear HungThanks for sharing your photos. A chin implant and lip reduction can address your concerns. A front view would be beneficial to better assess if a lip reduction would be of enough benefit. Both can be performed safely as outpatient surgery.

Answer: Full lips and weak chin, how can I fix this? Hello, Thanks for your question. Your lips are entirely normal. You do have a small chin though. That can be managed with chin augmentation using filler or chin implant. I would recommend that you consult with a facial cosmetic surgery specialist for more information. Good luck, Dr. Shah
