Would I benefit most from a chin implant to improve my profile? (Photos)

Question

Hi! I’ve had chin filler 2x over the past 4 years but now I think I’m ready to take the leap and get a chin implant. Do you think I’d benefit from both chin implant and chin lipo? I have some fat under the chin but I can’t tell if it’s tissue. I also currently weight 118 lbs, 5’5” so I can’t lose any more weight. Thanks in advance for the advice

They are appealing: quick surgery, cheap, outpatient management and veeery easy technical for the surgeon, even the less skilled and experienced can do them, however they have very bad downsides, in practical terms they have short duration due to pain, displacement, visibility, mobility, weird gestures, failing to achive goals, etc

You have microgenia, this is small bone developtment at the chin, therefore you need chin augmentation with bone supply (iliac grafting); not a case for sliding genioplasty giving there's nothing to slide, it is primery deficit of bone substance.

A chin implant will provide a better and permanent solution to your lack of chin projection. During the chin implant procedure under sedation, it is convenient to perform submental liposuction simultaneously.

You are an excellent candidate for a chin implant.  You do not need liposuction of the neck.  The chin implant is done through an intra-oral approach so there is no visible scar.

Best Wishes,
