What would be the best way to fill in the dip above my chin implant? (Photo)

L
Lynn2569Jan 16, 2017

I have gone to 2 consults and both told me to just stick gum in my lip... I seriously hope this isn't the answer. 1 picture shows the dip and almost gives me the appearance I need rhinoplasty too. 2nd picture I stuck tissue paper inside my lip and wow my profile looks drastically improved. Can this really not be done with some type of filler?

Thank you for your question. Upon assessing your photos I see your chin does appear to have a weak structure. Weak chins often lead to an imbalanced appearance with facial symmetry, and de-emphasization of prominent facial points. As a board-certified facial plastic surgeon I find optimal,...
