I've talked several doctors and had a few consults. The general opinion on me seems to be either a sliding genioplasty or a custom chin implant. But I dislike the idea of a SG... My needs include lateral projection, vertical height and horizontal width. Estimates are 6mm/5mm/1mm per side I understand the SG can do everything except increase width and more complicated overall. What can I expect from a customized chin implant? Can it provide 3D augmentation? Let me know your opinion Thanks!

Answer: Chin implant may improve the width and profile of your chin. Use 3D imaging for preview. Based on your description, it seems as though you know exactly what you are looking for. The chin implant is made of synthetic material that feels just like the natural tissues found in the face. The implants are made in a wide range of sizes and shapes, which allows for optimal customization for each individual face. A custom chin implant may be an excellent option to improve the width and profile of your chin. However, due to the increasing variety, shapes, and sizes of chin implants available, you may not need a custom chin implant.A thorough consultation with an experienced facial plastic surgeon would be an excellent place to start. The experienced facial plastic surgeon would be able to determine what implant types are available or if a custom implant would be necessary. Look for a surgeon who can offer 3D imaging technology to see what your results might look like.

Answer: Custom chin implant It is unlikely that you may need a custom made implant considering number of implant shapes and sizes available on the market.. As of recently we have chin implants that will increase all three dimensions of the chin (including vertical height). Custom made implants are usually 3-4 times more expensive then standard implants.You should continue your discussion with surgeon(s) who suggested implant augmentation since you seem to have abandon the idea of SG. Good luck.

Answer: Chin implant candidate Chin implants are manufactured in a large array of sizes and shapes, are composed of Silastic, and can be custom carved according to the patient's unique anatomy. Chin implants can give added projection, width, and a slight amount of vertical height, depending upon which implant is used. Chin implants are usually placed through a submental incision under local anesthesia as an outpatient procedure. For many examples, diagrams and more information, please see the link and the video below

Answer: Custom Chin Implant You are correct in that a sliding genioplasty will not increase chin width and will actually make it look a little less wide. A custom chin implant can be designed to create all your desired changes and is a true 3D type facial implant.
