I got a chin implant 3 months ago & It's an improvement but not what I expected. The implant is too small & I discussed this with my surgeon and said he would swap it out if I tell him exactly how many mm I want it. The one in there now is a small silicone one that was placed through the mouth. I included a pic of what I would like my new implant to look like. My question is how many mm should I tell him or what kind of implant? Do you think a rhinoplasty would improve my profile?
