Would I benefit from a chin implant? (photos)

Thank you for your question. While it does seem that you have a bit of a recessive chin, it is impossible to accurately assess without an in-person consultation. There are several options available for chin augmentation - both surgical and nonsurgical - so your best bet is to schedule an appointment for a consultation with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon. They will examine you and provide options for treatment that will offer you the results you desire. Best of luck!

A formal evaluation would be needed to determine what's best. Many of my patients try to avoid surgery, so we perform a non-surgical chin augmentation treatment with injectable fillers. Fillers like Radiesse, Voluma, BellaFill as well as Sculptra are injected into the area, improving the overall appearance of the lower face and balancing the jaw and lip harmony. We use cannula injections to meticulously contour and project the chin, soften the chin along the jawline and improve the chin crease.

Implants are still a great option once you are 100% positive that you are ready for a permanent enhancement.​ I suggest getting a consultation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert; our practice is located right here in Los Angeles. Best, Dr. Emer

Dear Nonbotheredname,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

There does appear to be some recession of your chin and this could be treated with a chin implant. There are a variety of styles and sizes of chin implants and I find it is best to examine the patient in person to determine which exact implant might be best to use.
