What is the right shape chin implant for my feminine face? (Photo)

There are several different chin implant shapes available, and ech come in multiple sizes. Anatomical shaped implants usually look more natural. Using a 3 D imaging software such as Vectra is the best way for patients to see which shape best fits the desired look. Discuss the different shapes of implants with your surgeon to see which one fits your expectation.

Based on my 35 years experience with chin augmentation I am convinced that, specially in young patients like you, a sliding osteotomy is superior since it does not change the shape of the chin unless it is necessary and only moves it forward, it improves the neck on every patient and there is very minimal foreign material. There is also more versatility to the osteotomy. You may consider getting a second opinion from someone who does chin surgery both ways routinely to make an educated decision.  

The key to most female chin augmentation is to provide horizontal projection but not width. This is to keep the chin more of a triangular shape and not square. Of the selections shown, the anatomical implant is often best for women as it adds central horizontal projection but not extended wings that can create a wider chin as well.
