Would a small chin implant be the best way to improve my jawline? (Photo)

Question

My chin isn’t very recessed, but the way my skin attaches to my neck reduces jawline definition. I’m mid-20s with a BMI of ~21, so I don’t think excess fat is the issue. I don’t want a temporary fix like filler. Would a small chin implant be the best way to improve jawline definition in my case, or are there other factors I should consider? Thanks!

Yes, a chin implant is the best way to improve the jawline.  The anterior projection of your chin should be in the vertical line to the lower lip.  You can see you are almost a centimeter behind that.  You will probably need a large chin implant.  This is done intra-orally so there are no visible scars, it takes 1 hour to perform under general anesthesia and costs $4,000.

Best Wishes,

Your idea is great. A chin implant can be done through the inside of your mouth, in the office, in about 20 minutes. That's how we do them here. You'd get an immediate improvement and the effect is permanent, though readily reversed if desired.
