I think that what you have provided is reasonable with chin augmentation.  I offer the procedure both through the mouth and under the chin, depending upon your preference.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

The edited photographs do appear to be  realistic and obtainable with a chin implant. Remember, the chin is a three-dimensional structure and this is only one view. Chin implants are manufactured in variety of sizes and shapes, are inserted through submental approach under local anesthesia as an outpatient procedure.

Different profiles of chin implants exist , the extension of the wings of the chin implant also adds to the profile of the mandibular border if needed.

Yes, your edited photo is absolutely reasonable.  Chin implants provide projection to the chin.  Your chin should be in line with your lips.  If you place your finger directly down from your lips, your chin should just about touch the finger.  Yours is significantly behind.  A chin implant would balance the lower half of your face.

Richard W. Fleming, MD (retired) · Answer

The results you have morphed showing the desired result following placement of a chin implant are very realistic. Multiple sizes and shapes of implants are available. This procedure can be done under local anesthesia, minimizing recovery.
