So I am an Asian woman who has a recessive chin problem, my doctor told me to get a chin implant so it'd help with my face harmony. But is a 9mm anatomical implant too big? I have a small face and I really still want to have that small face of mine. (by the way, I got rhinoplasty last Dec 2021)
Answer: Genioplasty We almost always prefer/recommend a genioplasty over an implant. A genioplasty has many benefits over an implant, and is generally more predictable. Implants are limited, and will make your chin wider, which does not sound like something you want. From the front, the lower portion of your face is short compared to the rest. However it sounds like you prefer it that way. If you are just looking for forward advancement, I would look into getting a genioplasty before you make any final decisions. A genioplasty can advance your chin without any implants or creating a bulky appearance.

Answer: Need to come in to consult For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Chin implant When a chin is very recessive and needs 9 mm of advancement I recommend a sliding genioplasty procedure. I perform both genioplasties and the placement of implants, and when a large implant is placed in a women it can sometimes look wide and masculine. The genioplasty procedure brings your own natural chin forward and looks more feminine. The procedure is performed in the office with sedation anesthesia and does not affect your bite. Most people resume a normal diet the same day.

Answer: Would an anatomical chin implant be too big for my face A small anatomical chin implant would be the appropriate size for your petite facial features. Placement of a chin implant can be done under local anesthesia as an outpatient procedure which takes approximately 30 minutes. In our practice, we place the implant through a small submental incision.
