18 years old and I want a more masculine and alpha look. Should get a jaw implant? (photos)

Question

I'm 18 years old and I want a more masculine and alpha look, my features land more on the feminine side, I don't like my profile since I have no jawline at all, and I feel that my chin could be more prominent. I would like to know the cost of the surgery and other enhancements I need please :)

Without an exam your question cannot be answered.  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

A chin implant, besides its complications, poor results and long run risks, would never provide the effect your face and your chin need; it is true your face could be more masculine and the problem is your chin is too small; hence you need a multidimensional augmentation with bone supply, likely from the iliac bone at the hip, so that the chin is increased vertically, horizontally (a square one is ideal for you) and vertically.See augmentation genioplasty cases of my practice using the link at the bottom of this text.If you wish better grounded opinion well lit, focused and standard images have to be assessed: frontal, both lateral and both oblique views, also from underneath.
Feel free to request any additional information from me.

Chin implants is something that would work if you would like a non-surgical approch Sculptra is great to define and contour the face. Also to achieve a wider jaw by injection Sculptra also, injecting Sculptra into his cheeks and temples, the area blends more evenly. Sculptra also causes the body to produce collagen and the results can last for up to two years. I strongly recommend someone who specializes in these treatments.
Thank You!Dr. Jason Emer

You have a few options to improve your chin and jawline. If you’re not sure you’re ready for surgery, but still want to improve and strengthen your chin and jawline, I’d suggest augmenting your chin and jaw with Sculptra and/or Voluma. If you like your new look, you can make it permanent with a chin implant. I hope that helps.

Chin and jaw angle implants provide the most complete augmentation of the over third of the face. Whether this should be done by three separate implants or one custom wraparound jawline implant would depend on your aesthetic goals.
