I am a 34-year-old, Asian male, and strongly considering either a chin implant or sliding genioplasty, but unsure which one would be appropriate for me. I have been unhappy with my weak jawline and would like my profile to appear more masculine. What would the cost be? Also, what are the chances in developing a keloid scar? Thank you!

Answer: Chin implant A chin implant will do the job. Viewing your photos, it shows a weak chin. A chin implant will project the chin forward to better balance the lower half of the face. In addition, since you mentioned 'jawline', I suggest some Radiesse in the mandibular angle (angle of the jaw) to give you more angularity.

Answer: Weak chin Chin implant would be appropriate. I am one of those opposed to sliding genioplasty for ordinary "weak" chins. I think it is overkill and unnecessary surgery.An implant is simple, reversable and the scar is in your mouth recovery is quick, prices are less than genioplasty. No keloids form in the mouth.Prices vary surgeon to surgeon and geographically. Call up an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and speak to the office manager for price ranges.
