I have a weak chin which stresses the nerves and muscles below my lower lip. I've had braces before, however my ortho concluded that jaw surgery is probably not worthwhile. I hesitate because of the long recovery time and the need for braces. However, if the result is significantly better aesthetically & functionally, i'd go with the jaw implant. Can I expect to achieve a similar result with a chin implant? What other long-term aesthetic and functional factors should I consider?

Answer: Need to come in to consult For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Chin İmplant Hello! Thank you for your question.From the photos you provided I wouldn't recommend you a jaw surgery. As your doctor mentioned it is not worthwhile in your case. A chin implant would be more than enough to bring your chin a little up and give more shape to your face. Anyway, if you could provide a photo from face too, I would be able to make a better evaluationThank you.Best regards!
