Hi, im a 29 yr old man that has been considering chin augmentation. For the most part I am totally happy with everything except for my chin. I have a little goate that I grew since high school and never shaved totally off because I am self councious of my chin. I feel like it receedes and would benefit from a chin implant. Finally, I got a consultation with a Doctor and he told me I would benefit from a small medium chin implant. The more I talked to him, the more it seemed like he was trying to talk me into it, even saying that I am better than a good canidate for the procedure. I also am not looking to change my look but just enhance it a little so, really dont want to look different just with better chin (subtle change and im happy). Is it possible? I would take off from work for 10 days and would like to go back without anybody knowing. Would I benefit from one? Also wouldn't want friends and family to know. I would stay with my girlfriend for awhile till everything heals. Please give your honest opinion. Thanks
