Weak jaw line/no chin? Feeling insecure.

Question

I am a 22 year old male, and I was just wondering what I could do to get a stronger jawline and a more prominent chin. Will some face exercises help at least with the appearance of a more prominent jaw? Or will surgery be the way to go? Any suggestions, advice, etc. is greatly appreciated!

Yes, a chin implant could improve the shape and projection of your chin. When well placed by an expert, a chin implant can last for decades or a lifetime. You can choose a chin with will give you a better projection and smooth the jawline. Neck liposuction could also define and contour the jawline. A consultation with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon is important; for the patient to be evaluated, their goals discussed, and a custom treatment plan decided upon. I hope this helps.

There are a variety of solutions including some permanent and some temporary. In order to achieve the most natural results, I would recommend a sliding genioplasty for your chin and jaw angle implants for the posterior. Good luck

There are a variety of techniques that can be used to improve your profile and to give the appearance of a more defined jawline. A more temporary approach includes dermal fillers (e.g., Sculptra, Voluma, and Radiesse), while fat grafting, use of permanent fillers (Aquamid, Bellafill ) and facial implants would offer a more permanent solution. To address your concerns I would recommend having an in person consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in facial aesthetics.

Hello, thanks for sharing your pictures. You seem to have severe mandibular hypoplasia. Chin implants may not give you satisfactory results. Ideal treatment would be an advancement genioplasty. Consult a board certified plastic surgeon for further assessment.

Barry L. Eppley, MD, DMD · Answer

Total jawline enhancement (chin and jaw angles) requires an implant approach. Whether this is using a standard implant approach (chin and jaw angles) or a one-piece custom total jawline implant can be debated.The only other options is a sliding genioplasty for the chin and standard jaw angle implants for the back.
