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

A chin implant has more influence on the profile or oblique view than on the front view.  But implants can be selected that have more influence than others.  As an example, you can get a more masculine shaped implant that creates a wider, more square chin pad.  That would clearly looks changed from the front and side views.  Or you an get a softer, more general implant that does not have as much squaring, and most of the effects are seen from the side.  These are issues you need to discuss with your surgeon, and are aided by additional image morphing software.

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
