Am I a good candidate for a Chin implant?

Lane.May 14, 2015

A chin implant will give you a stronger profile that is still in harmony with your natural beauty. The implant will balance your face better and may obviate the need for further work on your jawline. I hope this helps.

You should consider an advancement genioplasty for a large chin movement. The incidence of infection is less and very large chin advancements can be accomplished.  Good luck.  Donald R Nunn  MD DDS. Atlanta Plastic Surgeon
