Is there a chin implant small enough for the projection that I want? (Photos)

Gentle931223Jun 21, 2025
I had a genioplasty and then a revision a couple of months ago. I wish I had gotten a chin implant, because I feel like they look more contoured and elegant. On top of that I would like a little bit more of projection. Specially from a third quarter view I notice that people with chin augmentation have a really nice balance with the rest of their face that I still lack. I wonder if there is a chin implant small enough to fit in there or if it would be too much? Am I stuck with getting just filler?

Either a sliding genioplasty or a chin implant will improve your facial balance. The lack of chin projection gives the appearance of a short lower face. By giving the chin more projection, the lower facial balance is improved.

Based on these photos you seem to be a candidate for conservative rhinoplasty mostly involving tip area. However, set of better profile photos is needed to asses whether genioplasty would further balance your profile.

There are many things that we can do. You have a long midface that we can address. There are several different procedures involved. They may include a lip lift, cheek augmentation, a facelift, or even some bone changes. Watch our videos to learn more.
