Unfortunately I have a small jawline with high angles, and want to know if it's possible to make the sides of my jawline appear wider with only a chin implant? I know that jaw implants would probably help the most, but I'm reluctant to get them due to the cost and complexity of the surgery. Thank you.
Answer: Is it possible to achieve the results you desire? 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

Answer: Is it possible to widen your chin with just a chin implant? A full set of facial photographs without a beard are required to make a determination about being a candidate for a chin implant. Chin implants are manufactured in a large variety of sizes( small, medium, large, extra-large) and a variety of shapes such as pre-jowl, and anatomical. The pre-jowl implants accomplish widening of the chin. In our practice, we use Implantech solid silicone chin implants that can be custom carved when necessary. For more information and many before-and-after examples including diagrams of the implants themselves, please see the link and the video below

Answer: Is it possible to widen your jaw with just a chin implant? Hello,Thanks for your question. Chin implants are not appropriate for your issue. Jaw implants really are the best long-term option. Another option is a series of Radiesse or Sculptra injections into the area of the angle of the jaw to contour and widen that area. I would recommend that you consult with an expert in these 2 fillers to discuss the nonsurgical option.Good luck,Dr. Shah

Answer: Three-dimensional augmentation osseous genioplasty Forget about implants, very limited in their effects and highly problematic in the short and mid term.I have done many male patients seeking a masculine profile and finally being able to get rid of the billy goat beard.Your chin is optimal to augment, with bone supply (likely the hip), the vertical height, the horizontal width (this widens your jaw) and your anterior projection at a time.It is an awesome procedure, for a lifetime and with unparalleled results.

Answer: Jaw Widening No standard form of a chin implant can make the jawline wider. In an effort to circumvent what you really need (true jaw angle implants), you can have a custom chin implant that will make some of the jawline wider as it extends back along the jawline.
