My jaw and chin have gotten thinner with age and seem to be asymmetric as well. What is the best way to solve this problem? Facial implants or can fat grafting be done? I prefer something more permanent, not fillers.

Answer: Facial evaluation Hello and thank you for your question. The best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation. Fat grafting or medpor implants are the two best options in my experience. It would be very helpful to also evaluate a true lateral profile picture of your chin. This decision should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: Restoring a Chin Jawline Thank you for your photo. A chin implant would be a longer lasting option in comparison to fillers. Please make sure you seek treatment from a board-certified dermatologist.
