Without an exam your question cannot be answered. You will need to see an Oral/Maxillofacial surgeon to see if othognathic surgery, genioplasty or using an implant is best for your specific case. It should be noted that patients with severely weak jaws or abnormally functioning jaws may be better treated with other facial surgery (orthognathic surgery), although a chin augmentation may be an option at a later time. These patients should seek the advice of a plastic surgeon to determine which course is right for them. Here is some information to help you make this decision: Candidates for Chin Augmentation - Patients whose chin profiles are weak but have normally functioning jaws are candidates for Chin Augmentation. Many of these candidates have used injectable fillers in the past to strengthen the protrusion of their chins, but are looking for a permanent solution. If you are one of these patients, then you are a likely candidate for chin augmentation#weakchin #chinimplant
Great question! I've posted a video below so that you can see how to determine whether you are a chin implant candidate. I believe that you are by your photo but the video shows you how I judge this with my patients. The key question is whether you proceed with a chin implant which is a cosmetic surgery that is quite straightforward for an experienced surgeon. The alternative, a sliding genioplasty, addresses your bite while changing your chin position. If you wish to have your teeth realigned you are best served by seeing an oral surgeon in consultation. If your concerns are cosmetic and enhancing your chin to bring it in to balance with your other features--then a chin implant is the way to go. You will find that rhinoplasty specialists tend to have extensive experience with chin implantation because it is such a frequently performed procedure in conjunction with rhinoplasty. The incision can be made through the skin or through the mouth but i prefer to do it inside the mouth because it has minimal discomfort and is invisible without any external evidence of scar. My patients tend to be very happy with this approach. I hope that information is helpful!I hope that helps!

Only a sliding genioplasty can bring the chin forward and vertically shorten it at the same time.
Hi, I have performed many facial shaping procedures, including Chin Augmentation with dermal fillers or silastic chin implants, for over 30 years. From the photos your face has the proper vertical height in the upper, mid and lower face however... your chin is very weak which means it lacks forward projection. When the chin is weak, this creates an imbalance making the nose appear larger, the mid face top heavy, the lower face looks short, de-emphasizes the lips and allows early formation of a "double chin". Proper placement of a silastic chin implant adds forward projection to the chin thereby creating harmony and balance to the lower face. Using the same incision, liposuction can be performed to reduce the fat and further shape the neck. Excess skin, from below the chin, can also be removed through the same incision. 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 (requires extensive tissue dissection, bone cuts and placement of metal screws and plates to secure the cut segments of bone). 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. Hope this helps
