I know I have an overbite and very receded chin. Bracers didn't help me. I don't care about overbite much, but I don't like my profile. I had a rhinoplasty few years ago and my doctor suggested chin implant. I didn't want to have such a drastic change in my face at one time so I didn't go for it. But now im considering having a chin implant. My doctor suggested large. My concern is if that's going to look natural considering my face stucture now. My chin bone is really small and undeveloped

Answer: Chin Implant vs Lower jaw surgery Thank you for your pictures. You can benefit from a chin implant but you really need a lower jaw advancement. This will help your chin of course but it will increase the vertical height of the lower face.

Answer: Chin implant? Afraid is going to look weird considering my face stucture now. My chin bone is small and undeveloped. You would definitely benefit from a chin implant. I will measure the patient to assess existing width and desired projection. You've trusted your surgeon before and I would suggest you continue to do so. Make sure that there is clear communication as to expectations following surgery. Good luck Dr. PG

Answer: Chin Implant? Thank you for the question. The concerns you voice are actually quite common among patients when the possibility of a chin implant is raised. Although there is no question that the results from placing a chin implant are transformative, newer implant designs yield very natural results. Based on the horizontal deficiency in your chin, a large implant is reasonable. However, a vertical lengthening implant should be considered to help augment the vertical dimensions of your chin.
