Chin implant vs genioplasty: which procedure would be best to give me a heart-shaped face? (Photos)
thaeblsJan 21, 2019
I got a consultation for my chin: I have a squareish face and want it longer/heart shaped. I learned the lower third of my face is too short, vertically NOT horizontally. The surgeon suggested a chin implant that he'd point "downward" which would also project horizontally an "insignificant amount". After research, it seems an implant's primary effect is horizontal aug. Online most suggest genioplasty to fix vertical deficiency. second opinion? Should I get a genioplasty instead? I'm in IA
