Would you suggest a chin implant? I see my chin quite pointy and I don’t want it pointier. (photo)

Question

Hello, I am doing a rhinoplasty in january. The surgeon also suggested me a chin implant but I am not sure about it. I see pictures of before and after pictures and I like it but in my case I dont know if it would look good as I see my chin quite pointy and i don’t want it pointier. Also I would like to see an example of the before and after with my picture, any ideas where I could simulate this? Do you think it would fit well on me? Thanks!

From your side view, we cannot tell how pointed your chin is. A frontal view would help. However, from your side view, you would benefit from a chin implant. It would give you a more elegant neck and align your facial structures.

Hello and thank you for your question. A formal evaluation would be needed to determine the best treatment. There are both surgical and non-surgical options to correct this.

We can place a chin implant, which is a quick surgical procedure. Many of my patients try to avoid surgery, however, so for those patients, we also offer non-surgical chin augmentation with injectable fillers. Fillers like Radiesse, Voluma, BellaFill, and Sculptra are injected into the area to improve the overall appearance of the lower face and balance the jaw and lip harmony. We use cannula injections to meticulously contour and project the chin, soften the chin along the jawline, and improve the chin crease.

Implants are a great option once you are ready for permanent chin enhancement.​ I suggest getting a consultation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert, or an aesthetic facial plastic surgeon like Dr. Donald Groves; we are both located right here in Los Angeles.

Best, 
Dr. Emer
