Hello!I was treated with a chin implant with wings (the doctor said that he cut the wings)today of small size(4mm) because the doctor told that the medium implant would be too big for me.I am really upset because I think it would be too small for my chin and I wouldn't see much deference.What's your opinion?

Yes the shape can be altered with a combination of a genioplasty and angle implants in order to ensure a smooth natural look. (See website). The key is to appreciate your growth pattern so you know the changes necessary for balance.
I agree with Dr. Eppley. The mentalis muscle resuspension and chin implant must be in harmony. This best achieved from an intraoral approach.
Good question. Chin implants may be placed internally through the gums or externally with a skin incision under the chin. If you are getting a routine cleaning or basic dental work like fillings I would wait at least 4 weeks if placed externally and 6 weeks internally. Also wait longer if more...
