Follow-up question: Would I benefit from a chin implant?

If you think you have a weak chin that detracts from your appearance, or exacerbates your nose, make sure you see a board certified plastic surgeon for an in office exam to discuss your options. A complete evaluation needs to be performed to evaluate your chin from various angles and profiles for realistic feedback to be provided.

Thank you for your question!  A formal evaluation would be needed to determine what's best. Many of my patients try to avoid surgery, so we perform a non-surgical chin augmentation treatment with injectable fillers. Fillers like Radiesse as well as Sculptra are injected into the area, improving the overall appearance of the lower face and balancing the jaw and lip harmony. We use cannula injections to meticulously contour and project the chin, soften the chin along the jawline and improve the chin crease.
Implants are still a great option once you are 100% positive that you are ready for a permanent enhancement. I suggest getting a consultation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert; our practice is located right here in Los Angeles. Best, Dr. Emer

Dear NDdancer25,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos it looks like you would benefit from chin implant. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Even though it is invasive, a chin implant can have a tremendous  impact on facial dimensions for the better.  And it is one of the few procedures we do that is totally reversible.  Chin implants come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes which can accentuate different aspects.  I frequently use it as a supplement with facelift and rhinoplasty.  I like to place it through a small incision under the chin.

The side profile photographs demonstrates a recessive and weak chin profile for which a chin implant can improve your facial balance and proportions. The size, shape, thickness of the implant is best determined time of the consultation and examination. For over 25 years, we have used implantech brand of  chin implants with an excellent success rate. Chin implants  are placed under local Anesthesia which takes approximately 30 minutes. Anticipate visible swelling for 10 to 14 days

Thank you for posting good pictures. Based on that I think you’re a great candidate for a chin implant and you would appreciate the results.No one needs cosmetic surgery but the combination of a chin implant with a well done rhinoplasty would look spectacular on you.Reducing the projection of the nose and augmenting the chin complement each other making each procedure look better.Likewise, having a nose that’s a little big in conjunction with a weak chin causes more in balance especially in the profile.I think most plastic surgeons would agree with this assessment. I suggest having multiple in person consultations with board-certified plastic surgeons in your area.Look for someone who has a lot of experience. Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
