I'm 19 years old and on a bit of a budget, but I have an extremely weak chin, which I would like corrected. I don't know if I should be looking at a chin implant, or jaw advancement. I'm very reluctant to get rhinoplasty, mainly due to price, but it's something I'm considering as well. Any suggestions?

Answer: Chin Implant vs. Sliding Genioplasty
The answer is dependent upon the total evaluation of the face and its components. The nose should be evaluated to see if it needs a surgical procedure prior to a chin procedure. After the nose has been evaluated then the selection can be made. The chin implant is usually a less expensive procedure compared to the jaw procedure.

Answer: Chin implant (yes) vs jaw advancement (no)
From the photo, I doubt that you will need a "jaw advancement". However, some people might suggest a sliding genioplasty instead of a chin implant.
Most people would choose a chin implant over a sliding genioplasty as not only is it less expensive, but it has a shorter recovery and will give you a similar result with far less risk.

Answer: Chin Implant Surgery may improve the appearance of your weak chin. Genioplasty surgery is always an option, and you could certainly consider this option. Chin Implant surgery takes under 30 minutes, and downtime is minimal. The majority of my patients are thrilled with their results after Chin Implant Surgery. I hope this is helpful for you.
