Hi! I am unhappy with my chin projection, I feel like my chin makes my face look a bit flat, especially from the side. Instead of filler, I would like a more permanent solution like a chin implant. However, I am not sure if my mentolabial fold is too deep for me to be a good candidate. Would I be a good candidate for a chin implant and if not, can anyone recommend other permanent solutions? Thanks!
Answer: Chin implant Thank you for your question. You would be a good candidate. Typically an in-depth discussion and analysis is recommended in order to find the right size and shape of implant to achieve your goal. Also, despite implants being permanent, replacing one if needed (changing size or style) is not difficult to do. I hope this information is helpful for you, and all the best!

Answer: Are you a candidate for a chin implant? What you need to know Thank you for providing images along with your question. Based on your photos, you seem to have a recessed chin, making you a potential candidate for a chin implant procedure. Surgeons typically use silicone for chin implants as they can be easily customized to create the ideal shape. Additionally, should you wish to have the procedure reversed in the future, silicone implants can be easily removed. To determine your eligibility for a chin implant procedure, I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with a reputable board-certified facial plastic surgeon, particularly one with the skill and well-trained eye for facial balance and symmetry. Your surgeon can assess your face and profile, tailor a unique treatment plan based on your concerns and goals, use digital photography to show projected results, and ensure the best possible outcome.

Answer: Non-Surgical Chin Augmentation with Injectable Fillers -- Radiesse, Sculptra, Surgical Implants, See an Expert A formal evaluation would be needed to determine what's best. Many of my patients try to avoid surgery, so we perform a non-surgical chin augmentation treatment with injectable fillers. Fillers like Radiesse, Voluma, BellaFill as well as Sculptra are injected into the area, improving the overall appearance of the lower face and balancing 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.

Answer: Chin augmentation candidate It does appear that based on your photos, you could benefit from further projection of your chin. Indeed, the most effective way to grant this, and the most permanent way, is for a chin implant to be carefully placed to correct your anatomical deficiency. As a board certified plastic surgeon who performs these surgeries on a regular basis, I prefer using the intra-oral technique so that there are no visible scars on the outside of your chin. While you are under twilight sedation, a very small incision is made inside your mouth, and the implant carefully inserted through this incision. In addition to not having any visible scars, this approach also disallows for the implant to settle and become ptotic (sagging) over the years, preventing making its way down toward a lower-placed incision if the cut were made on the outside or your skin, under the chin itself. It’s a very easy recovery as recoveries go, only a few days, and I would not qualify it as painful. I recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon in person for a physical assessment and to discuss your goals and expectations to determine if a chin augmentation is right for you.
