Your chin, as it is now, is a nicely proportionate and good one for you; notwithstanding it is true your chin admits a very slight anterior increase and a moderate vertical increase, by means of a two-dimensional augmentation genioplasty; this is absolutely unfeasible with accuracy and harmony with merely chin implant.Chin implants can only be safely used for anterior contouring, they do never provide vertical increase, no matter how obsessively or stubbornly they are used, or abused.Simple sliding genioplasty is a good option in anterior-only increase needs; for more versatile and refined chin designs the multidimensional genioplasty is a must, however performed by few.I perform regularly all kinds of genioplasties, not only sliding genioplasties but also one, two and three-dimensional augmentation and/or reduction genioplasties, plus other custom designs; in other words, I know well what I am talking about.This is an awesome, lifetime lasting, stable and safe procedure, which notwithstanding needs very accurate preoperative antropometric planning, desing, discussion and a brilliant execution, a technique full of creativity and good aesthetic judgement requirements.Chin implants have many disadvantages:-visibility, static or with facial gestures / smiliing-artificialness, fake look, evidence of implant presence-limited lack of versatility, they do not provice vertical modifications neither reductions-common infections-common dislocations-possible nerve irritation and pain-short lifetimeSo sooner than later they are normally removed, or exchanged by an osseous genioplasty.Why so popular (chin implants) then? Simple answer: they are technically accessible to all surgeons, little training is required, can be done under local and sometimes office based procedures, they are cheap.Osseous geniplasties are more expensive and need good skills, true, but when performed they produce lifetime results, safe, stable overtime, very low rate of complications, versatile three-dimensional modifications (augmentation or reduction, vertical, horizontal and depth), low rate of reinterventions, etc.Feel free to request any additional information from me.
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#weakchin #chinimplant
Hello! It's difficult to tell from your photos because they are not exactly at 90 degrees. You look great, but it's possible that a small implant may enhance your appearance. I would consult your board certified plastic surgeon for further evaluation. Have a great day.
A full set of photographs in a chin neutral position and especially from the side profile are required to make a determination about being a candidate for a chin implant. Chin implants are manufactured in a large variety of sizes and shapes, which is best determined at the time of the consultation and examination. Chin Implants can be performed under local anesthesia as an outpatient procedure. For more information, many before and after examples and diagrams of the implants, please see the link and the video below
The best way to determine if chin augmentation would be an aesthetic asset is to have some computer imaging done. See what you look like with an imaged chin augmentation and you can make that judgment for yourself.
you are so thin that a chin implant may make you look more bony and angular. I think you look great as is.
...you are wrong about your approach and judgement regarding your chin surgery; an osseous genioplasty is the golden standard, safe, practically painless and of swift recovery.You are right about your knowledge, your goals are only feasible with a genioplasty on the chin's bone.
TMJ will not affect the shape of the jowls, jawline and mandible. The photographs demonstrate a weak and recessive chin profile and fatty deposits in the neck. Consider placement of a chin implant and liposuction in the neck to give more profile definition to the jaw line. Both procedures ar...
"A combination approach would give the most improvement. Nonsurgical options such as Kybella, PDO NovaThreads, and Ultherapy do well in combination for skin tightening, but the results are mild compared to surgical options. I would recommend a VASER Hi-Definition Liposuction with ThermiRF,...
