"A formal evaluation would be needed to determine what's best. Many of my patients try to avoid surgery, so we perform a non-surgical chin augmentation treatment with injectable fillers. Fillers like Radiesse, Voluma, BellaFill as well as Sculptra are injected into the area, improving the overall appearance of the lower face and balancing 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 still a great option once you are 100% positive that you are ready for a permanent enhancement. I suggest getting a consultation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert; our practice is located right here in Los Angeles. Best, Dr. Emer"
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
Hi, I have performed many facial shaping procedures using dermal fillers, facial implants (cheek, chin), liposuction and/or facelifts for over 30 years. Following the beauty principles outlined in my book on face and body beauty, men look chiseled and handsome with angularity in the cheeks, chin and mandibular angles. From the photos, your cheeks are flat anteriorly (in the front), the chin is "not" weak and has the proper degree of forward projection for a male face, The nose has a large dorsal hump with an under-rotated nasal tip that make the nose appear long...and the chin under-represented even though the chin is not weak. I can't see the mandibular angles but I suspect that they may be weak as well. This combines to create an oval shaped face with a low degree of facial "angularity". The following procedures would create a more ruggedly handsome, angular face.Cheek augmentation with cheek implants to add angularity to the cheeks and mid face. This would be combined with liposuction to reduce the excess facial fat to further define the cheek shape.Rhinoplasty to reduce the dorsal hump and refine the nose.Augmentation of the mandibular angles using a dermal filler (jaw implants have too many unwanted side effects IMHO) to add volume, angularity and flare to the jaw line.Hope this helps.
Hi, I'm not certain how you've arrived at that conclusion. This sounds like one of those "urban myths". Breast implants have not been shown to cause cancer in any proper scientific study that I am aware of. I have performed many facial shaping procedures using silastic facial implants (che...
Most likely cutting piece of bone out from side of your jaw would assist you in this case. Some surgeons perform this procedure. You just have to do your research.
Lily, first of all, best of luck. Removing chin implants is not particularly difficult, and doing so under local anesthesia just requires patience from the patient, as well as a competent doc. It sounds like you are in good hands. As far as what to expect post op - your chin...
