Do I have a weak chin & would chin augmentation bring harmony to my face?

Question

I am searching for a professional's opinion. I feel like something is out of harmony with my facial aesthetics. I’m 11 months out from a rhinoplasty and I’m pleased with the improvement. But I still feel like something is lacking. I’ve recently started to consider a chin implant, or at least fillers. But I want to hear from people who have a trained eye before going to far down the rabbit hole researching this procedure. Do I have a weak chin? Would chin augmentation bring harmony to my face?

Marc Polacco, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. There are several different models in our literature regarding proportions of the nose and the chin, often coming down to mere millimeters. If one were to follow some of the more commonly used models exactly, perhaps the chin would be brought forward slightly, or the nose back. However, the purpose of these models is to serve as a guideline, and ultimately, what you perceive about your appearance is what matters most. I hope this helps, and I wish you all the best.

Dear avadar,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

I think that your chin projection from a profile perspective is good. From the frontal view it is somewhat narrow and I think that your jawline would be improved with a small implant to augment tithe width only. Simultaneously I would recommend jawline and submental liposuction.

Zoran Potparic, MD · Answer

Based on your front view, it appears that you have relatively narrow, slightly asymmetric chin. On the profile view, it appears that you may benefit from small augmentation, as well. A small implant which will  slightly widen your chin and minimally increase anterior projection, would be my choice. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with good reputation in chin and facial implants, possibly 3D simulation, is recommended. Good luck.
