Chin implant after genioplasty? (Photo)

A chin implant can be done after a genioplasty and an intra-oral approach can be used. The chin implant can be modified to correct the asymmetry or you may want to consider fat transfers.

Yes, a chin implant can be placed from an intraoral incision. A chin implant will provide more volume and projection. The asymmetry can be improved with a properly placed chin implant. Another option, the genioplasty can be re-done and there would be no need for a chin implant.

Yes - I do a lot of jaw surgery and implants as well. Going through the inside of the mouth should be fine. I would likely be able to do this in about 20 minutes in the office with local anesthesia.

Hello, we can achieve the appearance you have in the application with implants. It is possible to perform a chin implant from inside the mouth, and it can also correct some asymmetry. You are a suitable candidate for a chin implant.

Looks like the left side of your chin is slightly lower compared to the right side, and you have a small dimple that i assumed you don't like, from the app picture. To correct the asymmetry, a redo genioplasty is best. I would not get an implant, as that will increase the mentalis strain you have. If you are not ready for a genioplasty, fat grafting is minimally invasive and does not put any foreign material in your body. It will smooth out the chin and give you better symmetry--more like the app pic, and add some volume. It will be more subtle than genioplasty or implants, but doesn't come with longer recovery with the genioplasty, or the long term risk like an implant.

It is certainly possible to add a chin implant on top of your mandible bone after you've had a genioplasty procedure. We have done this several times in our practice. Placement of a chin implant can give you mostly forward projection, but also some lateral width and a small amount of vertical height. In our practice, we use Implantech brand of solid silicone chin implants, and they are inserted through a small incision underneath the chin under local anesthesia as an outpatient procedure. The Implant could always be easily removed if you don't like it.
