I'm a 27 year old female unhappy with my recessed chin. I've seen a plastic surgeon before about liposuction who advised because of my weak chin lipo wouldn't make a huge difference, so would need to consider another option. Would I be best with filler, an implant or genioplasty? I also don't want to exaggerated my asymmetry from the front.
Answer: Chin implant vs Filler A formal evaluation would be needed to determine the best treatment. There are surgical and non-surgical options to correct this.

Answer: Chin implant I recommend a chin implant. This is done intra-orally so there is no visible scarring and the chin implants have large wings which will fill out the entire lower mandible area. The procedure takes about 45 minutes to perform under general anesthesia and costs $4,000.

Answer: Chin implant and genioiplasty You would likely benefit from a chin implant or sliding genioplasty. If your chin is short in the vertical plane then I would recommend a genioplasty over a chin implant. I take a CT to determine the overall length.

Answer: Would you consider a chin implant and neck liposuction together? Based on your photos, I agree that you have a poorly projected chin on profile, and additionally you have a relatively short chin appearance on front view. These two issues are easily addressed with chin implant surgery through a small incision under your chin. You may benefit from an anatomical implant rather than an extended implant so that we could keep a tapered chin appearance on front view. The necessity for neck liposuction would be determined with an examination. Frankly, it may not be necessary. We prefer chin implant surgery to genioplasty surgery for many reasons. If someone does not like the way a chin implant looks, they are ridiculously easy to remove. Genioplasty involves repositioning your chin bone, and based on what we have seen from others, is less precise insofar as achieving a desired result. Plus there is a significant amount of downtime with genioplasty surgery. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph
