I have a square chin and have always wanted a more defined chin and jawline (Photo)

Thank you for your question and photos. For weak and recessed chins, implants can be properly shaped, sized, and custom-fit to create a striking jawline contour and a profile that is balanced with the rest of your facial features.
If necessary, facial liposuction can be combined with chin implantation to remove excess fat and further sculpt the shape of the jawline. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon. They will be able to determine which combination of treatments will work best to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

For a more defined jawline to strengthen your profile (and help prevent the dreaded jawline "jowl" sagging), we use injectable fillers like Revanesse Versa - a filler known to limit swelling and give subtle, soft enhancements - or Radiesse. Using a cannula to limit pain and swelling, we inject on the bone in strategic points to get more lift and shaping, resulting in a more contoured lower face and defined, structured jawline. I would suggest getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

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

The chin and the chin implants are both 3-dimensional structures , so a full set of facial photographs are required to make any determination about being a candidate for a chin implant procedure.  There are multiple shapes and sizes of chin implants, and they can be custom carved when necessary to match patient's unique anatomy.  Chin implants are usually placed for patients who have a weak and recessive chin profile in order to augment the chin forward.  If there is excess fatty deposits in the neck, liposuction can accomplish removal of that ft to improve the jawline.  Both procedures are complementary to each other.  For more information, diagrams of the chin implants themselves, and many before and after examples of chin implants, please see the link and the video below

The combination of a sliding genioplasty and jaw angle implants is what you need to have a more pronounced and v-shaped jawline.

 Hi, I have performed many facial shaping procedures using dermal fillers, facial implants (cheek, chin), liposuction and/or facelifts for over 30 years.  From the photos, your cheeks are very flat in the front, the chin is weak as are the back portions of the jaw line in comparison to the model examples provided.  These combine to create an elongated, oval shaped face.  

 Following the beauty principles outlined in my book on face and body beauty, women look the most feminine, youthful and attractive with heart shaped faces. Heart shaped faces have cheeks that are full and round in the front. Cheek augmentation with a dermal filler or using cheek implants for a permanent enhancement will create full, round cheeks that will feminize the entire face.



 I have performed many Chin Augmentations using chin implants for over 30 years.  From the photos, your chin is weak.  A weak chin creates an imbalance making the nose appear larger, the mid face top heavy and the lower face look short that de-emphasizes the lips and allows early formation of a double chin.  Chin augmentation using a chin implant will add projection to the chin creating harmony and balance to the lower face. 



 I have found that placement of a silastic chin implant, through a small curved incision under the chin (also allows excess skin removal) to be very safe, quick, highly effective and far less invasive than a sliding genioplasty.  I perform chin implant surgery in 30 minutes or less, often using a local anesthetic alone.  In my opinion, you are a good candidate for chin implant surgery.



 The back portion of your jaw line is a bit weak and can be augmented, without making your face appear masculine, using precise placement of a dermal filler (I prefer using Restylane Lyft).Hope this helps.

if a lateral (side) view picture shows you have a receding chin, an appropriately chosen silastic chin implant would be a relatively simple solution. 

Yes, you could have a genioplasty and jawline augmentation to achieve an improved balance.  A full facila analysis would determine the tyoe of change desired and the magnitude
