Chin implants and genioplasty? (Photo)

Question

I've been self conscious of my jaw and chin for as long as I can remember and would like to have a more defined jawline and chin. It doesn't look so bad in these pics as I have my chin up but for eg when caught in pictures unaware I don't have much of a chin. I am also considering cheek implants. I haven't looked into either of these surgery's yet so seeking advice on if i would be a good candidate for these surgeries or any other recommendations to improve my lower face

Ali Riza Öreroglu, MD · Answer

Based on your description and photos, if you desire a more defined jawline and chin, a chin implant could be a suitable option for you. This procedure can address concerns about a weak or recessed chin and help achieve a more balanced facial profile. Additionally, if you wish to improve cheek contour and volume, cheek implants can be considered to add definition and symmetry to your face. As an alternative, I may prefer to perform facial fat grafting on chin and jawline for contouring the face.

Hi from Istanbul! I would advise against cheek or chin implants, as they can overly enlarge and coarsen the appearance of the face. Instead, consider a more refined approach like neck tightening with laser lipo, which can contour and define the lower face. Additionally, adding volume to the jawline with fat injections can subtly enhance your profile, providing a more naturally defined jawline and chin without the risk of an exaggerated or bulky look. I hope this helps. Good luck on your journey!

It appears you would benefit from a chin implant.  This will lengthen the appearance of the mandible.  You would also benefit from a lip lift.  A lip lift does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increase the incisor show and pulls up the corners.  The scar will be at the nose-skin junction and the chin implant can be done intra-orally.

Best Wishes,

Hello, hope you are well. Thank you for the questions and photos! Overall, you don't have major bony deficiencies, but the right implants can be subtle enhancements. A modest sized chin implant would be appropriate, as well as submalar cheek implants. If you wish to further accentuate your jawline, you may also consider a procedure called NeckTite, which is the application of bipolar radiofrequency energy to the skin and subcutaneous fat. This essentially tightens the skin and reduces the fat layer so that the jawline becomes more defined. With all of these procedures, no visible incisions/scars are necessary. Hope this helps!
Best,Dr. Tower
