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: 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
