Will a chin implant deepen my mental sulcus? (Photos)

Thank you for your question and photos. While the crease may deepen after chin augmentation, the aesthetic benefits will likely outweigh this concern. Inserting a chin implant can add a well-defined projection to the jawline and bring balance to the rest of the facial features.
The size and shape of the implant should be compared to each individual patient’s bone structure and aesthetic goals. Silicone implants are often recommended because they are the easiest to customize. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon who can assess your concerns and develop the best approach for you.

A chin implant will definitely deepen the mental crease by nature of making the chin larger. Different surgeons have different preferences when it comes to sizing. We like to take a Vectra 3D image and use that to help with sizing.

A chin implant does tend to increase the depth of the mentolabial fold. It is a good idea to allow the surgeon to select the best fit for your chin. You may need a medium or large implant as your chin is moderately recessed.
