Question

My chin is very small and it makes my face more boxy and I don’t feel confident.can you recommend me which treatment should i go for and if fillers how many ML will be required ( what is the minimum amount for surgical chin implant) and what other options i can go for with this chin

Thank you for your question and for sharing your photographs. Because the appearance of the chin impacts the front view, oblique view, and lateral view in different ways, I would always advise having a 3D photograph and computer simulation. This will help you understand what you would like to achieve and how it complements the shape of your face with different projections and widths of the chin.

Using this technology allows you to make a more calibrated decision for your features and helps avoid surprises in terms of the overall appearance of your face following changes in the chin characteristics.

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.

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. The amount of fillers needed to bring the best harmony and balance to your face would be determined during an in-person evaluation. 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

There are various treatment options available to balance your chin and boost your confidence. Hyaluronic acid fillers, for instance, can add volume and projection to the chin area when injected. The required amount of filler varies based on individual anatomy and desired results, typically ranging from 1 to 4 cc for chin augmentation. Surgical chin implantation offers a more permanent solution to increase chin projection, with the size of the implant depending on facial structure and desired aesthetic outcomes. You are a suitable candidate for chin implant surgery. I prefer to conduct a physical examination and then decide on the implant sizes and surgery. During the examination, I evaluate your facial proportions and recommend the appropriate implant size and shape. Fat injection is also another option, but is not long lasting. In some cases, a combination of treatments such as fillers, implants, and fat grafting may be recommended depending on individual needs and goals.

Hello! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Aesthetic Skin in Winnetka and Chicago. This is a great question. Based on your concerns, I recommend treatment with dermal filler in the area of concern. I hope this helps and best of luck!

I recommend a chin implant.  This is done intra-orally, takes 1 hour to perform under general anesthesia and costs $4,000.

Best Wishes,

Gary Horndeski, M.D.
