I’m 47 and am scheduled for a chin implant. My doctor warned that it may deeper my mental crease, but the aesthetic benefit would outweigh the deepening of the crease . Also should I get a small or medium implant. I have full lips, so the doctor said he will choose which looks best in surgery.

Answer: Chin implant Thank you for your question. While an implant will deepen the crease, it will also help add projection and definition to the chin and jawline. I tend to base implant size based on patient bone structure and height. In general the taller the patient, the more likely a larger implant will be needed for a natural result. All the best to you! -Dr. P

Answer: Chin Augmentation Thank you for your question. You are an excellent candidate for chin augmentation. It is a straight forward surgery with little downtime. The labiomental crease is often worsened with this procedure, however I have had a very high success with subcutaneous release and fat grafting to this area. Best wishes to you.
