Will a chin implant change my frontal view? (photos)

Chin  implants are composed of Silastic and are manufactured in a large variety of sizes and shapes. The mandible, chin area and the implants are all three-dimensional structures, therefore the augmentation is three-dimensional. Patients do get a small amount of with added width to the frontal view when a chin implant is placed. For more information, diagrams of the implants themselves and many examples,  please see the link and the video below 

 Hi, 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 proper placement of a chin implant will positively affect the look of the chin in the front as well as the profile.



Hope this helps.
