I plan to get the Vertical Lengthening Chin Implant to add vertical length to my face and tiny chin. My chin is shortl vertically, but is 90 degree in profile and not receding. The implant has B size - 1.4, 1.6, 1.8 sm. Is it the required distance between the lowest point of the chin to the highest? I think this space in my chin is smaller than that (only about 1 cm), so I am not qualified for this procedure? Thanks

Answer: Chin 'height' The most ideal approach is to truly lengthen the chin by a sliding genioplasty which allows the shape of the 'bottom part' of the chin to remain natural and avoid a 'dip' in the jawline with the chin implant. The implant will be palpable below the chin/jawline; whereas a boney genioplasty will not have the ridge under the chin. Talk to a Maxillofacial surgeon. It is a common issue. Also, he/she can examine your bite to understand the growth pattern of the lower jaw, which contributes to the appearance.
