Question

Ultimately, I'm trying to achieve a more balanced face. I am considering a lip lift with a chin implant. Is that the right course of action? I do feel the gap between my nose and upper lip is too wide. And, that by having a weak jaw, my jowls are accentuated. Or, am I just being picky?

Thank you for your question. A chin implant will address your weak jawline. It would be helpful to see a close-up picture to address how the lip lift will improve your result. Always consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.Best wishes,

It is difficult to assess judging only from the oblique and frontal pictures you provided. It seems as though you would benefit from a lip lift, although please note a consultation is necessary. With regards to your chin, either a geneoplasty or mentoplasty would be an option.There are two different types of chin surgeries; however, implantation (mentoplasty) is the most common and sought after procedure. Chin implants can be removed if need be and are made of synthetic materials that are not only completely safe, but they also feel like a real chin when touched.On the other hand, genioplasty is a chin augmentation surgery that does not use an implant. Instead, this procedure involves moving your bone forward to increase the projection of your chin.Please take all this information into consideration and consult with a board certified plastic surgeon before making any decisions on your own. Best of Luck!
