Anthony1995,Thanks for your question and pictures. I do not find your midface deficient based on your pictures. For facial balance, a chin implant may be beneficial. If you have problems with your bite, then seeing an oral/maxillofacial surgeon for a correction may help the function as well as appearance of your lower face. Good luck!
Based on your photo, your mid-face looks to be fine. I think what may be bothering you is a lack of chin definition. Schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to be assessed in person and discuss options for augmenting your chin either with a bit of filler or a chin implant. Hope this helps --
The photographs demonstrate adequate mid face and cheek area and a well-developed maxilla and soft tissues. There appears to be a weak and recessive chin profile and vertical chin defficiency for which a chin implant can improve. Chin implants are manufactured in a large variety of sizes and shapes, and can be custom carved when necessary to match patients unique anatomy. In our practice, we use Implantech solid silicone anatomical chin implants for over 25 years.

Hi, I have performed many facial shaping procedures over the past 30 years. From the photos your cheeks lack definition and angularity and the chin is quite weak. These combine to create a square shaped face. It's not that your mid face is too long, it's that a weak chin makes the lower face appear short as described below. Your face does not have "jowls" which are the primary indication for some form of SMAS facelift for which you do not appear to be a suitable candidate. Based upon my beauty principles, men look chiseled and handsome with angularity in the cheeks, chin and mandibular angles. The following procedures would create a more ruggedly handsome face.Cheek augmentation with cheek implants to add angularity to the cheeks and mid face. I have performed many Chin Augmentations using silastic chin implants for over 30 years. When the chin is weak, this creates an imbalance making the nose appear larger, the mid face top heavy and the lower face look short that de-emphasizes the lips and allows early formation of a double chin. Chin augmentation using a chin implant will add projection to the chin creating harmony and balance to the lower face. I have found that placement of a silastic chin implant, through a small curved incision under the chin (also allows excess skin removal) to be very safe, quick, highly effective and far less invasive than a sliding genioplasty. I perform chin implant surgery in 30 minutes or less, often using a local anesthetic alone. In my opinion, you are a good candidate for chin implant surgery. Chin augmentation, using a chin implant, to add projection to the chin creating harmony and balance to the lower face. Hope this helps.
This is a very rare occurrence after a facelift. A neurosurgeon or a plastic surgeon could remove the neuroma, but a plastic surgeon may be more familiar with this area. Though removing the neuroma may remove the discomfort, it probably will not result in any return of ear sensation.
You have early aging changes around the mouth which are due to tissue relaxation and not predominantly loss of volume. Therefore, a maximum correction that looks most natural will be a facelift in which the deep plane is dissected and repositioned. This technique repositions the overlying...
Plastic surgery scars require attention after surgery so that they remain cosmetically-appealing and barely noticeable. In our office, we use a protocol for scars that minimizes their activity in the 6-8 weeks after surgery. If you have late plastic surgery scars, you may also require laser and...
