Will Chin Implant Make Face Less Wide and Round in Appearance?

The chin implant can greatly enhance  your facial appearance by improving the proportions of your face.

By making specific measurements we can determine the type and size of implant for you.

Importantly, by showing you samples, we can demonstrate the improvement in person prior to surgery.

Good Luck,

The overall balance of the face will change in favor of a longer and leaner appearance, but the changes will be subtle.  Your best bet is to see many before and after pics and see what changes you see in these.  Good luck.  Dr. Torkian

Besides the obvious implications for chin prominance on the lateral view, implants will also change the front view.

Those changes are much more subtle, but significant none-the-less.

Implants will increase the vertical height of the chin and also take a round face and make it appear more almond shaped. Variations of these effects can be made with choice of implant. Wider implants also tend to make the chin a little stronger and are a better choice in men, while narrower implants typically look better on women.

There are a variety of shapes when it comes to chin implants. It sounds as if you could benefit from selecting an implant with greater anterior to posterior projection rather than transverse width. Discuss your desires with a plastic surgeon. Occasionally, they will have samples that will give you a concept of your outcome.

A chin implant is usually used for a retrusive chin and to make the chin wider. It will not make the chin look slimmer. The implant is placed through a submental incision and can be done under local or general anesthesia depending upon the patient’s desires. The chin implants come in various sizes, shapes, and forms, which needs to be discussed with your surgeon at the time of the consultation.
