As you can see from the pic I have a weak chin and neck fullness (mainly due to anatomy) and my goal is to have my chin augmented vertically and laterally (more vertically) to have a better neck angle (see simulation pic). Can this be achieved w/an anatomical implant or would I need to have a sliding genio? I’ve considered the vertical lengthening implant but am concerned about stability. I’d prefer to get an implant for financial reasons but don’t want to waste money if the SG is my only real option.
Answer: Chin Implant Candidate Yes, a chin implant could improve the shape and projection of your chin. When well placed by an expert, a chin implant can last for decades or a lifetime. You can choose a chin with will give you a better projection and smooth the jawline. Neck liposuction could also define and contour the jawline. A consultation with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon is important; for the patient to be evaluated, their goals discussed, and a custom treatment plan decided upon. I hope this helps.

Answer: Chin augmentation There are a variety of techniques that can be used to augment the chin and improve your profile. A more temporary approach includes dermal fillers (e.g., Sculptra, Voluma, and Radiesse), while fat grafting, use of permanent fillers (Aquamid, Bellafill ) and facial implants would offer a more permanent solution. A sliding genioplasty is a procedure that I feel gives a rather blocky, unrefined look in a number of cases. However, in severe cases, this may be the best option. One also has to evaluate your actual bite through orthgnathic analysis and possible orthodontia. To address your concerns I would recommend having an in person consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in facial aesthetics.

Answer: Chin augmentation I don't think you need sliding genioplasty. I think chin augmentation would be a good option for you. The neck can be treated with liposuction to give it a little more shape and contour. Hope this helps. Let us know if you would like to schedule a consultation. Best wishes

Answer: Chin implant or sliding genioplasty? A sliding genio-plasty is performed by an oral surgeon under general anesthesia in a hospital setting with an overnight stay, and is usually performed when the teeth are significantly out of alignment. When patients simply desire a cosmetic augmentation to the chin, a chin implant is inserted. The photograph also demonstrates significant fatty deposits in the neck and a short platysma. A neck lift procedure can accomplish removal of fatty deposits located both above AND below the platysma muscle in addition to a platysma plasty. Liposuction will only accomplish removal of the fatty deposits above the muscle, and will only give a minimal result. The chin implant and the neck lift would be complementary to each other. For many examples of this combination, please see the link and the video below
