decided on getting a a chin implant recently in cleveland OH, and was wondering if my lips were too large or if its my weak jaw making my lips more prominent?

Answer: Chin Augmentation May Make Lips Look Less Prominent
I think you will find that if your chin had more horizontal and vertical projection, your lips would appear somewhat 'smaller' to you. At the least, change the chin first and then see how you feel about your lips.

good morning
you're not a bad candidate for chin implant and in my opinion I would say you want to focus on adding some projection as well as some vertical height to the chin. I say this because too much projection alone without some adjustment in the vertical height of your chin can create a deep indentation between the chin and lips themselves. In your case that indentation would be very deep. With respect to your lips, that's a matter of preference, I've certainly seen larger though yours are somewhat on the larger end of the spectrum. Lip production is a relatively simple procedure under local anesthesia but you may find after a chin implant that they do not look as prominent to you. Another thing to remember or consider is that your lips will probably thin and reducing volume as you age.
