I want to add more dimension to my face what do you recommend? (Photos)

Question

I would like something permanent so no filler. I am considering a chin implant. I will be removing my festoons/malar bags.

Unfortunately, you have not provided a true lateral view. You would benefit from a chin implant. You may also benefit from an eccentric lip lift, not a bullhorn lip lift. This does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners. You may also benefit from a rhinoplasty but I would need more photographs to give a more accurate answer.

You could have either done, however genioplasty is a more predictable procedure. Implants can move, and/or bury themselves into your chin bone (which makes a potential removal difficult). A genioplasty uses your own chin segment, which is moved forward/downward (up to you), and secured with titanium hardware - a non-conductive metal. It generally results in a very natural look. Let us know if you'd like to schedule a virtual consultation, we'd love to discuss your goals and work through some photos and simulations.

It would be difficult to suggest chin augmentation based on these photos, there is no full face and profiles. It is quite possible that you may need it? Periorbital/cheek augmentation with fat grafts would be something to consider; in some instances, when small chin shaping/augmentation is needed, fat grafting may be very good solution. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with long experience with fat grafting is recommended. Good luck.
