I have a weak chin and loose skin under it (despite being only 20). I considered getting a chin implant but i don't want to make my chin look longer from the front because I already have a thin, long face. Will a chin implant make my face look a lot longer than it already is?
Answer: Non-Surgical Chin Augmentation with Injectable Fillers -- Radiesse, Sculptra, Surgical Implants, See an Expert "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.

Answer: Weak Chin? Without an exam your question cannot be answered. You will need to see an Oral/Maxillofacial surgeon to see if othognathic surgery, genioplasty or using an implant is best for your specific case. It should be noted that patients with severely weak jaws or abnormally functioning jaws may be better treated with other facial surgery (orthognathic surgery), although a chin augmentation may be an option at a later time. These patients should seek the advice of a plastic surgeon to determine which course is right for them. Here is some information to help you make this decision: Candidates for Chin Augmentation - Patients whose chin profiles are weak but have normally functioning jaws are candidates for Chin Augmentation. Many of these candidates have used injectable fillers in the past to strengthen the protrusion of their chins, but are looking for a permanent solution. If you are one of these patients, then you are a likely candidate for chin augmentation

Answer: Weak chin A properly placed chin implant will improve and balance your proportions and profile. The implant is designed to add projection to the chin as well as influence width and height. Placement alone of the implant can lengthen the face as well if it is placed along the edge of the bony chin. Other additional procedures to address a weak chin would be the use of facial fillers and/or liposuction. I would advise having a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in facial aesthetics.

Answer: Chin implant position A chin implant is a great procedure to add projection to your side view. Your front view will not really show much change in length if at all. It may add some subtle width with an extended type implant. An implant is not placed where it elongates the chin. It site in front of the chin bone. It adds more definition to a sloping chin and in this manner may have an indirect subtle lengthening.

Answer: Chin implant Without pictures, its hard to give you specific answers. That being said, the goal when augmenting any part of your face is ensuring even proportion. So you are correct, that doing things to one part of your face may change other parts of your face - thats why it is so important to get a good facial analysis during your consultation. That being said, what a chin implant can help do when done appropriately is highlight your jawline, and improve the relationship between the lower face and upper face. I know this is very broad, but like I said, without pictures its hard to be more specific. Best of luck! I hope some of this helps.
