Do I have a weak chin? (Photos)

Aesthetically speaking, I wouldn't describe your chin as "weak".  Based on idealized proportions, you are correct that your chin does not meet an imaginary line drawn from your lower lip.  However, this is just a guideline and the appearance of your chin does not jump out at me as something that should require aesthetic intervention. 

Without an exam your question cannot be answered.  You will need to see an Oral/Maxillofacial surgeon to see if othognathic surgery, genioplasty or using an implant is best for your specific case. It should be noted that patients with severely weak jaws or abnormally functioning jaws may be better treated with other facial surgery (orthognathic surgery), although a chin augmentation may be an option at a later time. These patients should seek the advice of a plastic surgeon to determine which course is right for them. Here is some information to help you make this decision: Candidates for Chin Augmentation - Patients whose chin profiles are weak but have normally functioning jaws are candidates for Chin Augmentation. Many of these candidates have used injectable fillers in the past to strengthen the protrusion of their chins, but are looking for a permanent solution. If you are one of these patients, then you are a likely candidate for chin augmentation

From the profile photos, you have a very feminine chin with a slightly convex profile. Most women want that look. From the frontal photos, I see a more square chin that appears less feminine. I would recommend finding an injector in your area who can place HA reversible filler in the central portion of your chin. This will give you a slight amount of additional projection but also make your chin more rounded.... therefore more feminine. I would avoid surgery. 

Based on these photos I would not consider your chin weak. However, in person evaluation will give much better chance to evaluate potential deformity and suggest appropriate treatment. Consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with good reputation in chin surgery and facial rejuvenation should be your next step. Good luck.

  From the side profile photograph, there does not appear to be a weak and  recessive chin profile, so its best to leave well enough alone.  For many examples of before and after chin implant patients, please see the link and the video below

Your pencil experiment is really relevant for most men but not so much for women. That is a fine place to put your chin if it looks good to you but that is not an ideal standard for most women. As a women it may be more the cleft and its squareness from the front view rather than a horizontal deficiency. Computer imaging will help you identify better what your exact dimensional chin shape concerns are.

 Thank you for your question, based on your photos I would say that you do not have a weak chin.  In fact on your side profile I think that looks to be in a good position.  I have some patients with a very recessed chin, in which the entire jaw or mandible is smaller. Patients with a recessed chin often need a chin implant for augmentation. But this procedure should only be utilized in very selective patients. In my experience, using any kind of chin augmentation can dramatically change the appearance of the face. Hope this helps, and good luck!

From your photos I would say you have a very minimally weak chin, and that a big part of your profile concerns are a very strong upper alveolus ( the bone holding your upper teeth ). However the surgery needed to reduce the upper alveolus is difficult and rather traumatic and I would advise against it for your degree of problem. I would do a very small (extra small ) Implantech curvilinear style chin implant and it would line up your profile fantastic and reduce the over promenance of your upper alveolus. This is done in twenty minutes, easily and painlessly, with simple local anesthesia in the office operating room. I have found after 30 years and a thousand chin implants that even an extra small implant, when needed, greatly enhances a persons profile. 

I don't see your chin as weak, but a small conservative implant would improve the contour and projection which would also improve jawline definition.

Your chin does appear slightly wide and asymmetrical especially in the front view. A small implant should be considered to both improve the contour and projection which would also improve jawline definition.
