I plan on getting a chin implant or the in the near future. I would like to know if the implant will fix the dimple or if the dimple needs a different procedure. Will it cost extra to fix the dimple?
Answer: Orange Peel / Pebble Chin / Chin Dimpling -- Botox/Dysport/Xeomin/Jeuveau to Mentalis Muscle Treatment for chin dimpling ("pebble chin" or "orange peel") is Botox injected into the mentalis muscle. This typically gives great improvement to the appearance of the chin. Results take about 1 to 2 weeks. I suggest getting a formal evaluation with a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Chin implant candidate Placement of a chin implant will not affect the dimple and will still be there afterwards, since the chin implant placement is a bony augmentation, and a dimple is a soft tissue issue. Chin implants are manufactured in a variety of sizes and shapes, are composed Silastic, and are usually placed through submental incision under local anesthesia as an outpatient surgical procedure

Answer: It will not The dimple will persist, however you can be an excellent candidate for sliding genioplasty, much better option than simple chin implants.Being an option, chin implants (and fillers) have serious disadvantages, specially in the mid and long term, patients are rarely happy with them after 5-6 years, all are out by then or later.Consider the chin advancement by means of sliding genioplasty, the advantages are:-lifetime procedure, no more revision or renewal procedures-more natural than implants-no visibility of implant edges during gestures-improves the double chin effect at the sub-mental muscles (floor of mouth) hammock caused by lack of tension there; also improves the shape and tension of perioral muscles; implants do no offer this feature-horse-shoe enhancement, covering the chin and also the jaw sides of it-no future displacements or neuritis of mental nerves-practically zero infections and 100% healing of bones-no need for complex plates and screws that may need future removal; just steel wires synthesis may suffice, they stay buried into bone callusThe cons are:-expensive, but cheap if you consider the lifetime pros-technically demanding, few surgeons are experienced or comfortable (though I personally perform 100% of the chin augmentations by this osseous method, always after offering the patients both options)-scary for the patient (though not so much if you explain well the stuff around it)You'll find in this website dozens of negative experiences with chin implants in the short and mid term, do read my profile's Q&A and you'll find them too. I am doing sliding genioplaties for 15 years with the highest success and no one patient regreted, totall the opposite, I did many chin implant removals and one staged sliding genioplasties to replace them.

Answer: Chin implant dimple Although a dimple in a chin (cleft) was considered a handsome male characteristic, some women object to its appearance.The chin implant is to project an unattractive receding chin.When the pocket is made to accept the implant, some fibers which attach the dimple to the bone get cut. With the implant in place there is often a lessening of the depth of the dimple, but unlikely a disappearance. Surgery should be done for the chin, not the dimple.
