Question

As you can see in the pictures my chin bone is longer from one side giving a bent chin shape . Because of this my side profile has worsened , get bullied about it . Please help!

Eric M. Joseph, MD · Answer

We have had good success improving chin symmetry permanently with microdroplet Silikon-1000 injections. Goals may be to lower the high side of your chin to match the other. Necrosis, blindness, biofilm, infection or migration do not occur after microdroplet Silikon-1000 facial treatments. Thank you. Dr JosephPlease see photo attached of a similar chin appearance.

You can have sliding genioplasty. The doctor would cut and take a way a wedge of bone to correct the length.

A submental approach to correction of your chin asymmetry would allow the longer side to be reduced to the level of the shorter side by a shaving technique.

Hi Bhavya123, Based from your photos, it seems that the asymmetry can easily be corrected either by reduction on the right side of the chin, or augmentation on the left side, depending on your preference.
