What to do about an odd looking mouth area? (Photo)

Question

What can I do about my odd looking "mouth area" to achieve better symmetry. I know that chin implant is an option but I've had a sliding genioplasty and am hesitant to keep messing with my chin area. But there must be another technique to make this area look less "beaky". How about philtrum reduction? Lip injection? Marionette line? I have even considered facial hair transplant to disguise it and achieve a more overall masculine look. Every bit of advice is appreciated. Thanks

You can use fillers to help this, I see many young guys in my practice for fillers around the mouth, chin and jawline.  Implants are also an option but I suggest a formal consultation.  Best, Dr. Emer.

This is a great question.  Many men have the same dilemma.  Looking at the pictures you submitted, the area of greatest concern may actually be the chin, and less of a mouth issue.  Men ten to have a more dominant chin and jaw bone.  Your chin is slightly set back in these images.  This gives rise to a crease below the lower lip.  it also gives you some premature howling.  There are several options here for treatment.  HA fillers, Sculptra, and Radiesse are all temporary options that could add volume to the area and fill the crease.  Other options include a silicone chin implant, or a sliding genioplasty.  It would be most helpful for you to see a trained facial surgeon in order to get a good physical exam and to help you make a good choice.

Your main complaint seems to be related to an under projected chin bone.  Before you go for a chin implant, you can have an "injection chin implant" with filler material to see if you like it.  All the best.

Hi, from the photos your lips are about even in size with the upper sticking out further than the lower.  This combines to give the impression, of the mouth, that vyou mentioned.  Following the beauty principles outlined in my book on face and body beauty, the lips look balanced and aesthetically pleasing when the upper lip is no more than 75 % the size of the lower lip.  This allows the lower lip to appear more full.  Lip augmentation, of the lower lip, with a dermal filler or lip implant would create the proper lip proportion thereby softening the mouth and lower face.  Your cheeks are very flat which could be augmented with cheek implants or a dermal filler to add angularity to that area that would also create a more masculine, ruggedly handsome face.  Hope this helps.
