Can a chin implant elongate my round face? (photo)

February 4, 2014
Asked By:qtm21 in Dallas, TX

I have a round face and a receding chin at that, hoping that a chin implant would give it a slimming effect by elongating the overall appearance of my face without adding any width. I've uploaded a sideview and regular front view of my face, my chin is quite round and weak. I like the appearance of my chin in the third picture when im pointing my jaws downward to give it an almost pointy look. What type of implant and shape is recommended?
