My chin is short, undefined, and dimpled. The dimple in my chin makes the skin lack smoothness, firmness, and shape. It is like a small round ball is inside my chin. I am aware botox can smooth out and reform/reshape my chin but I am looking for a permanent surgical solution. I have done a lot of research of the sliding genioplasy. I have also extensively looked at implants. I have heard both procedures can be done together. I would appreciate any input and advice on what action should be taken.
Answer: Chin implant candidate for weak chin profile Chin implants are not going to create a V-line, with the current mandible that is present. chin implants are designed to augment the chin forward, which augments the current anatomy. Chin implants are manufactured in a large array of sizes and shapes which is best determined at the time the examination/consultation, since both the chin and the implants are 3-dimensional structures. For more information about chin implants and diagrams of the implants and many before and after results, please see the video and the link below

Answer: Chin shape and V line With a wider jaw near the ear/angle of jaw; it is necessary to consider the height of the chin and the taper to achieve your goal. Therefore a Genioplasty is the best choice since implants cannot properly change the chin height, nor create the continuous contour from the angle of the jaw. One can alter the width of the angle in a true V-line approach but further analysis and discussion of your goal is necessary. Talk to a Maxillofacial surgeon

Answer: How to get a long v-line chin? Hi, I have performed many facial shaping procedures using dermal fillers, facial implants (cheek, chin), liposuction and/or facelifts for over 30 years. From the photos, your cheeks are very flat in the front, there is excess fat below and in front of the cheeks and the chin is weak. These combine to create an elongated, rectangularly shaped face.
