Chin implant for forward projection of my face to strengthen my chin and help with early jowling? (Photo)

Question

I am in my 30s with slight jowling taking place. I had buccal fat removal done 2 years ago and I feel like the skin is starting to sag on my jawline. I’m looking to get a chin implant to give me the same projection Ariana Grande has, as I would like my face/chin to look like hers.

Thank you for your question and for providing photos. It is possible that chin augmentation can provide the projection you’re looking for, bringing your chin and jawline into harmonious balance with the rest of your facial features. 
The new, well-defined projection may also reduce the appearance of the early jowl formation you describe. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon who can assess your aesthetic goals and develop the best treatment approach for you.

Hi Jade! A chin implant can be a great option to improve the projection and frontal appearance of your chin. You have to be careful creating too much projection as it can appear unnatural. Chin implants come in a variety of sizes and shapes and can be crafted based on your anatomy and desires. To improve the jowling, there may be better options such as Morpheus8 microneedling RF or FaceTite. These can tone the skin nicely with relatively low risks. At your age, I wouldn't suggest anything like a facelift. Hope this helps!

Based upon the 2 posted self photos and all the wish pics. I recommend sub metal lipo, chin implant (medium anatomic), HA fillers to jawline and jugal groove, & MyElevate sutured neck lift. All under local anesthesia with IV sedation. Fees in the $10,000+ ranges. Best to virtual consult with....

Do you have the jawline of someone like the person in your wish pictures means being born with a large dominant man the bull in comparison to the Maxilla. Augmenting the tip of the mandible does not create the same dynamic solution. Individuals will have a long projecting mandible tend to have and normal dental occlusion with excellent jawline definition. The extended Mandible causes the platysma muscle to drape the neck in an ideal fashion. If the body of the mandible lacks projection than the person typically has a dental overbite occlusion forms a premature double chin and loss of jawline definition at an early age. you will also see on profile pictures with the upper lip has more forward projection than the lower lip. Individuals with a more dominant mandible (compared to the Maxilla) tend to have a lower lip that projects more than the upper lip.With a less projecting mandible the underlying platysma muscle drapes the neck in the more oblique fashion.
Augmenting the chin simply projects the chin but does not give all of the dynamic changes that comes with having a larger mandible. A jaw advancement would be indicated to obtain those changes.
