Hello and thank you for your question. A formal evaluation would be needed to determine the best treatment. There are both surgical and non-surgical options to correct this. They would both help to add projection and slight vertical height to the chin and face, and can help improve overall facial balance and harmony in the right patients. We can place a chin implant, which is a quick surgical procedure. Many of my patients try to avoid surgery, however, so for those patients, we also offer non-surgical chin augmentation with injectable fillers. Fillers like Radiesse, Voluma, BellaFill, and Sculptra are injected into the area to improve the overall appearance of the lower face and balance the jaw and lip harmony. We use cannula injections to meticulously contour and project the chin, soften the chin along the jawline, and improve the chin crease.Implants are a great option once you are ready for permanent chin enhancement. I suggest getting a consultation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert, or an aesthetic facial plastic surgeon like Dr. Donald Groves; we are both located right here in Los Angeles. Best, Dr. Emer
Thank you for your question. A chin implant can change the appearance of the length of the jawline and the contrast between the chin point and the contour of the neck. It also changes the characteristics of the profile through the relationship between the forehead, nose, lips, and chin.The best way to understand what a chin implant could do for you is to have a 3D photograph and computer simulation. This gives you not just the appreciation of the changes on the profile, but also on the obliquity, which is an angle that we more frequently see of ourselves either in the mirror or in photographs.
A chin implant will add projection to the side view. They are wide and will define the mandible border.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.
Thank you for your question and for sharing your photographs. The concern regarding your upper neck contours seems to be related to volume situated deep to the platysma muscles, which has hereditary characteristics. This volume is generally a mixture of the digastric muscles, the lower part of...
That said, if the chin tightness is very bothersome to you, an examination is warranted. Sometimes a dilute steroid injection in the area of the implant can serve to loosen some excessive scar tissue. It all depends upon your examination. Wishing you well. Sincerely, Dr Joseph
We can see that your lower lip is a bit smaller in the bottom photo, however, it looks a bit swollen in the top photo. Potentially the photo on top is showing a swollen lower lip, or possibly, some previous temporary gel filler in your lower lip may have dissolved. I hope this helps. Sincerely,...
