What do you think? Should I get rp or chin implant? Maybe both?
Answer: Chin Implant Candidate Without an exam your question cannot be answered. However, your photos are helpful and you are probably a good candidate for a Chin Augmentation. 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.

Answer: Rhinoplasty versus chin implant Thank you for your question and photos. The chin augmentation (implant or sliding genioplasty) is the operation that will bring better balance to your face. Your nose has many nice features, but a small bump removal (dorsal hump) and tip refinement would give you an incremental improvement. If you are only considering doing one operation, the chin surgery is definitely the way to go. If you don't like the bump or would like a little more definition to your tip, both can be done at the same time. All the best!

Answer: Rp or Chin Implant? Thank for your pictures. You may need evaluation of your lower jaw. In my opinion, if your lower jaw and dentition are reasonable then a sliding genioplasty would improve your profile and correct your asymmetry. Best wishes.

Answer: Chin implant candidate for weak chin profile The side photograph demonstrates a weak and recessive chin profile for which a chin implant can improve and augment forward. Chin implants are designed to give added projection to the chin help with facial balance and proportions. Chin implants are manufactured out of Silastic which can be custom carved when needed and are placed through a small incision underneath the chin under local anesthesia as an outpatient procedure. For many examples and more information, please see the link and the video below
