William Portuese, MD · Answer

How many chin implants have you performed in your career? What sizes and styles do you prefer to use? Do you use Silastic chin implants? What are the complications you've had in your practice with placement of chin implants? Do you have any before and after photographs of patients who've received in chin implant in your practice?

Frederic H. Corbin, MD (license restricted) · Answer

I would ask the MD if he uses digital imaging so you might see prior to surgery how your chin might look.  I would also ask what approaches he uses and why, what are the risks of each approach and what style implant would be best in your situation and whyDr Corbin

David Alessi, MD - Account Suspended · Answer

Ask for :1. digital imaging to get an idea as to the post op picture2. what parts of the chin will be augmented- just the front or do you need an extended implant3. what size and shape of implant they think you need and make sure you agree with it4. are they board-certified in Facial Plastic Surgery5. what do they think of your bite.  Sometimes a simple chin implant won't suffice and you may need jaw surgery6. ask for photos7. ask how many they've done and how long they've been in practice. Experience is important8. ask if the implant is going through the mouth or under the chin.  Most can be safely placed in the mouth9. what are the potential risks and complications.  All procedures have risks but, thank goodness, are usually unlikelyBest wishes

Francis R. Palmer, III, MD (retired) · Answer

I would ask what type of chin implant and how large.  If you drop your finger from your lips down, your chin should be slightly behind your finger.  Not more; not less.  I would ask how many chin implants he/she has done and how they place the implant.
