Chin Implant or Fat Transfer?

I would agree that a chin implant is a much better way of increasing your chin projection, and there are several reasons for this. For one, an implant provides for an easier means to get facial symmetry.  Secondly, it is a relatively quick procedure with very little down time.  Lastly, Fat Transfer has a variable degree of success after each treatment. A chin implant comes in different sizes so the patient can choose often times which one looks the best. I perform these routinely under local anesthetic in the office. A sizer is placed and the patient with a mirror can determine the best implant for them.

Fat Transfer is a terrific method for dealing with loss of volume to the cheeks, lower eyelids and lips and deep wrinkle lines on the face.

Although I fat grafting is one of my procedures of choice, in a young patient with an isolated chin issue I would opt for the chin implant.  While I agree that there are risks to every procedure, the chin implant is straightforward, long lasting and predictable.  If it is for aging face concerns and fat grafting is being done to other areas of the face I might be tempted to just proceed with fat grafting to the chin as well.  Good luck!

Chin implant is a better way to augment the chin in my opinion. I'm a firm believer in fat transfer for other areas of the face, but it's difficult to get significant augmentation in that area with fat alone. Implants also give more predictable results in this region.

The most commonly used chin implant is made of solid silicone, though other materials are available as well.
