I have been self conscious about my chin for a long time. The first image is what I currently look like. The second image is a quick edit I made with photoshop. Based on the chin, or rather lack of, I have now, is it possible to achieve something similar or better like the edited photo? If so, what kind of procedure would be recommended (chin implant, sliding genioplasty, etc)? Lastly, what can I expect the price to be for the procedure?
Answer: Candidate for a china augmentation Without an exam your question cannot be answered. However, your photos are helpful and you are probably a good candidate for a Chin Augmentation. You will need to see an Oral/Maxillofacial surgeon to see if othognathic surgery, genioplasty or using an implant is best for your specific case. It should be noted that patients with severely weak jaws or abnormally functioning jaws may be better treated with other facial surgery (orthognathic surgery), although a chin augmentation may be an option at a later time. These patients should seek the advice of a plastic surgeon to determine which course is right for them. Here is some information to help you make this decision:Candidates for Chin Augmentation -Patients whose chin profiles are weak but have normally functioning jaws are candidates for Chin Augmentation. Many of these candidates have used injectable fillers in the past to strengthen the protrusion of their chins, but are looking for a permanent solution. If you are one of these patients, then you are a likely candidate for chin augmentation.

Answer: Chin implant / chin augmentation be possible In our culture, a face is considered more handsome and masculine for males if one has a stronger chin. There are three ways of augmenting a chin. This can be through the use of fillers although these are temporary. Some surgeons perform sliding genioplasty in which the chin bone is shifted forward. This is a rather complex procedure that has some downsides including notching on the side of the jaw when it is brought forward which can be seen or felt in some cases after the surgery. The most common method is placement of a chin implant. Chin implants are most commonly made out of silicone and come in a number of shapes and sizes. There are several different configurations and most men would opt for a large or sometimes extra large implant if they have a significant proceeding chin. Prices vary from practice to practice. The procedure can be performed under local anesthesia or more anesthesia including general anesthesia.

Answer: Good chin implant candidate Thanks for sharing and providing a good profile photo. In my opinion you would be an excellent candidate for a chin implant. Using a small incision just under the chin, I use a silicone type chin implant that is easy to place. I perform this chin implant procedure under local anesthesia and oral sedation. Consult with a few experienced board certified facial plastic surgeons.

Answer: Possibility of a chin implant A chin implant is a simpler procedure than a sliding genioplasty. Because of that I would favor the implant for you. A similar result and possibly a little more projection than your altered image is typical.
