Would a chin implant help with my short chin?

Question

I feel like my chin is too short for my face? I don't know for sure though, it might just look this way since my chin is not projected enough due to my big lips? Would a chin implant fix this, or would this situation be needing a drastic procedure like a sliding genioplasty? I obviously prefer the first one though... since it's less risky and costly but your professional opinion would be greatly appreciated!

Hello, thank you for your question. Chin implant would produce a very nice change for you and improve facial balance. I recommend you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Either procedure would be appropriate for you. In your case I think you would benefit from both forward projection and vertical lengthening.

I suggest interviewing both local board-certified plastic surgeons and oral surgeons. You’ll find oral surgeons 10 to lean more towards sliding genioplasty and plastic surgeons will tend to be more biased towards implants.

Another option is to work with fillers which can give excellent results but they are temporary.

Long lasting fillers like Radiesse can give you results the last up to a year.

Best,
