Upon checking, 1.5cm implant is not enough to for my chin to meet the lower lip profile view, but I feel like having more than 1.5cm would make it difficult for me to wear that size of implant. Anatomical implant would give a better profile view but it doesn't much create a smooth transition on the jawline. While the extended anatomical implant doesn't have a large size that would complement my chin, correct me if I am wrong.
Answer: Chin Implant Consideration 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

Answer: Chin surgery While chin implants are easy to place I find that a genioplasty procedure provides a more natural appearance with any amount of advancement. Moving your own natural chin forward does not change the natural anterior shape of your chin. The surgery is performed in the office with intravenous sedation. Good luck

Answer: Custom Chin or Jawline Implant When you get into challenging lower jaw deficiency/short chin cases like yours you have to recognize that the use of standard implants will be very inadequate as they are not made for such skeletal deficiencies. You either use a custom chin or total jawline implant approach or combine a sliding genioplasty with a standard chin or custom chin implant. Difficult problems require non-standard solutions.

Answer: Chin implant It's hard to say just from the photos but a large extended anatomic implant may be the right implant for you. It should give you the projection that you need while adding stability and smooth transition to the jaw line. A consultation is very helpful to discuss all these factor in choosing the right implant for you.

Answer: Asian male. What type of chin implant would suit my face? The side profile photographs demonstrate a weak and recessive chin profile for which a chin implant can improve. Some patients desire a stronger chin profile, while others desire a more subtle improvement. The size, the thickness, and the shape of the implants are best determined at the time of the consultation and examination. The implants and the mandible are three-dimensional structures, and the augmentation occurs in all three dimensions. This includes forward projection, lateral width, and vertical height. In our practice, we use Implantech brand of solid silicone chin implants which are placed through a small incision underneath the chin under local anesthesia as an outpatient procedure. For more information, diagrams of the implants themselves and many before-and-after examples, please see the link and the video below
