Face is slightly aging with a boxiness look. Would I benefit from a chin implant? (photo)

This will depend on the final results you want. Symmetry and contouring of the face can be improved with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Radiesse, Bellafill) and Sculptra. This will allow you to try on the look before committing to a permanent option like fat or implants. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Your chin could be made to have better projection. If you’re not sure you’re ready for surgery, but still want to improve and strengthen your chin and profile, I’d suggest augmenting your chin with Sculptra and/or Voluma. If you like your new look, you can make it permanent with a chin implant. Hope this helps.

Thank you for your question. If you are looking to explore your options for augmenting your chin or lower face, I recommend scheduling an appointment with a board certified facial plastic surgeon. They can examine you and offer the best advice as to what would help you achieve the results you want. That being said, you are probably not a candidate for a facelift at this point. Facelifts are generally the last step after you’ve exhausted all your other options. Fillers can help shape your chin without surgery to get an implant, and injectable treatments like Kybella can address the excess fat under your chin, as can other non-invasive contouring treatments. Good luck!
