I don't like the shape of my face. I feel it is too narrow and makes my face asymmetrical. I am wondering what would be the best option for me to fix my problem? I feel my midface looks too long because of the length of my chin and bottom half of my face.

I agree with Dr. Eppley. The mentalis muscle resuspension and chin implant must be in harmony. This best achieved from an intraoral approach.
Good question. Chin implants may be placed internally through the gums or externally with a skin incision under the chin. If you are getting a routine cleaning or basic dental work like fillings I would wait at least 4 weeks if placed externally and 6 weeks internally. Also wait longer if more...
With a short chin associated with lip strain, the best procedure is a sliding genioplasty because it moves the bone and the attached mentalis muscle. This corrects the anatomic basis for both problems.
