Will chin/jaw implants be a good solution to get a more defined chin/jaw? (Photos)

Question

Hi, I have an overbite which results in a weak and recessed chin and also lack jaw definition. I want to get a better looking and more defined jaw chin. Will a combination of chin implant, jaw (mandible) implant and buccal fat removal make a big difference for me? Also, my jaw is also slightly tilted to one side. My goal is to get a slimmer face, with more definition like a V-shape.

First and foremost, implant procedures do not affect overbite issues. To achieve a broader appearance of the jawline in the front view, a widening mandibular implant would be the most suitable option. As for the chin, its current position is recessed. To enhance projection and create a more defined, an anatomic chin implant. Or a Terino square implant can be placed for more mascuiline look.

Hi you have classic type II occlusion/facial profile. The best long term result would be jaw surgery---we can do jawline contouring at the same time and also genioplasty. This will also help with your function (biting, breathing, eating) as you get older, and maintain your jawline without long term complications that might occur with implants. It can also correct the asymmetry.
