Terino Square Chin Implant vs Vertical Lengthening Implant?

Question

I spoke with a surgeon today and he said the size LARGE Terino Chin Implant can provide the same vertical height as the Vertical Lengthening Chin Implant (Implantech). Is this true? and how can I see how much vertical height a chin implant can give when looking at the sizing on their website? I'm ideally looking for around 8mm vertical length and 10mm in horizontal projection. I know genioplasty would probably be best but what would the best implant be for these measurements? Thank you

Chin implants are excellent for advancing horizontal chin projection but are extremely limited for adding true length. There are muscle attachments at the bottom of the chin which limit the placement of the implant (doesn't matter which one). In order to achieve true vertical lengthening, I recommend a lengthening genioplasty. The chin can then be lengthened up to 10 mm if needed. In addition, simultaneous advancement can be achieved. This will provide the most natural result.

I completely understand your concerns and the desire to find the best option for achieving your desired facial profile.Let me address your inquiries one by one:
It's essential to recognize that each individual's facial anatomy is unique, and achieving the precise look you desire often requires a custom approach. While non-custom implants like the Terino Chin Implant and the Vertical Lengthening Chin Implant may offer some standard sizing options, they might not precisely match your specific facial proportions. Using a non-custom implant can potentially lead to issues like uneven results or an unnatural appearance, as it may not cater to your individual needs.
We employ a comprehensive design process that focuses on understanding your aesthetic goals. We take the time to discuss your preferences and expectations, allowing us to create a custom chin implant that perfectly complements your facial features. By utilizing advanced technology and 3D imaging, we can visualize the outcome before the procedure, ensuring that the implant's size and shape harmonize with your unique facial structure.

By designing an implant specifically for you, we reduce the risk of complications and ensure a safe and successful procedure.
Considering your preference for approximately 8mm vertical length and 10mm horizontal projection, a custom chin implant can be the ideal solution to achieve these measurements accurately and with a natural appearance.While genioplasty might be another option, a custom implant offers a less invasive and more precise method to achieve your desired outcome.
I invite you to schedule a consultation with us, where we can assess your facial structure, discuss your aesthetic goals in detail, and present you with a personalized plan that incorporates a custom chin implant tailored to your preferences.
