I have a receding chin and also my lips do not naturally close. Will the chin implant allow me to close my lips naturally? Would chin augmentation be right for me?
also are there any non surgical options?

Answer: Difficulty with lip closing and small chin It is difficult to assess your jaw shape and projection from the photo. You appear to have a decent jawline. Your lip closing may be related to your dentition and occlusion. I would seek the advice of an oral surgeon. They may refer you to an orthodontist. Special x-rays called cephalometrograms may also be beneficial in determining if your chin is smaller than "average".

Answer: Chin implant unlikely to enable lips to close naturally A chin implant will not help the lips close naturally. Lips inability to naturally close is due to a tethering of the philtrum (area from between upper lip and base of nose). The chin augmentation will simply push the chin forward to further balance the face.
