Hi doctors, I want a more feminine chin and have always been self-concious about my "butt chin" In the past I've had two syringes of Radiesse injected but that didn't give me any significant degree of correction. I'm wondering if a chin implant would fix the issue once and for all? Thanks in advance!
Answer: Chin dimples The tethering of skin to the underlying connective tissue and muscle is contributing to the formation of your cleft. From a submental approach the tethering can be released to eliminate or at least minimize the dimple. I recommend simultaneous fat grafting.

Answer: Prominent chin cleft It is unlikely that a chin implant placed beneath the periosteum of the chin will solve the problem. It has been my experience that the attachments to the dermis of the cleft need to be cut and the two mentalis muscles sewn in the midline. Even then, occasionally additional temporals fascia may be needed to further obliterate the cleft.

Answer: What Is The Best Way To Correct Cleft Chin? Thank you very much for this excellent question. It has been my experience that what at times causes these chin clefts are fibrous bands from the mandible to the overlying skin. This type of band often travels between the two heads of the Mentalis Muscle. Band release and partial band resection are often required to permanently eliminate the cleft. If this maneuver is 100% effective, it will become immediately obvious.

Answer: Maybe A chin implant could help, but we'd need a side view to know for sure. The problem is that a chin implant makes the chin stronger and if you have a strong chin already that's not a good idea. Much of the time we can go inside your mouth and adjust the bone directly to get rid of the cleft. Feminization of the chin and jaw is a specialty of ours!
