I can't tell if my chin is a little recessed or not. I feel that it stops a little short and affects my appearance. Would I benefit from a chin implant?
Answer: Augmenting the chin to improve the profile Thank you for your question. It does appear you have some chin recession, which could be improved with chin augmentation. While fillers are also an option for increasing chin projection, an implant will provide you with the most long-lasting results. I perform chin implant surgery with local anesthesia in most cases. I place incisions either inside the mouth or underneath the chin to minimize visible scarring. Recovery from this procedure is typically 2-4 days. Make sure you work with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon to ensure the best possible result.

Answer: Chin implant and jawline contouring Your chin appears recessed in the photos and you would have improved facial balance with a chin implant. In addition, I would recommend simultaneous chin and jawline liposuction. The procedure can be performed in the office with sedation.

Answer: Chin augmentation Dear JHCV25, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you would benefit from a chin augmentation. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Would I benefit from a chin implant? From the limited photographs, it does appear there is a bit of a recessive chin profile present which a small chin implant can improve. Chin implants can be placed under local anesthesia as an outpatient procedure. In our practice, we placed them through a small incision underneath the chin.
