One of my friends said I have a weak chin. I never thought so, but I'd like to hear some thoughts.
Answer: Candidate for a chin augmentation Without an exam your question cannot be answered. However, your photos are helpful and you are probably a good candidate for a Chin Augmentation. You will need to see an Oral/Maxillofacial surgeon to see if othognathic surgery, genioplasty or using an implant is best for your specific case. It should be noted that patients with severely weak jaws or abnormally functioning jaws may be better treated with other facial surgery (orthognathic surgery), although a chin augmentation may be an option at a later time. These patients should seek the advice of a plastic surgeon to determine which course is right for them. Here is some information to help you make this decision:Candidates for Chin Augmentation -Patients whose chin profiles are weak but have normally functioning jaws are candidates for Chin Augmentation. Many of these candidates have used injectable fillers in the past to strengthen the protrusion of their chins, but are looking for a permanent solution. If you are one of these patients, then you are a likely candidate for chin augmentation.

Answer: Chin I personally do not believe you have a weak chin. The labiomental fold is aesthetic and the position of the chin seems to be normal.

Answer: Chin Augmentation The best way to answer whether chin augmentation is potentially beneficial is to have computer imaging done. This will allow you to make a judgment about your current chin projection on your own.

Answer: Weak chin profile It is very difficult to tell from one over extended neck photograph, but there appears to be a slight recessive chin profile, for which a small chin implant can improve. Chin implants are manufactured in a large variety of shapes and sizes which is best determined at the time of the consultation and examination.
