I have quite a weak and pointy/narrow chin and am considering a chin implant along with my rhinoplasty. Is it possible to get a more "straight" chin (see picture 2) with an implant alone? Picture 1 is my chin.
Answer: Broad Chin with Implant Thank you for your pictures. A chin implant can make your chin broader but I would not recommend that. A broader chin will make you look masculine. Your chin contours are excellent.

Answer: Chin implant candidate to make the chin more broad Chin implants are manufactured in a large variety of sizes and shapes, and can be custom carved when necessary to meet patient's unique anatomy. Depending upon the issues, a chin implant can make the chin wider, more projected, or add vertical height. The size and shape of the implants are best determined at the time of the consultation and examination, since the implants and the mandible are both three-dimensional structures. For more information and many examples along with diagrams of the individual implants, please see the link and video below

Answer: Female Chin Augmentation Every style of chin implant that has extended wings will make the chin broader. Whether an implant will make the chin more straight, however, is different as implants are typically placed over the center of the chin. A chin implant in your case would need ti be placed somewhat asymmetrically to treat a crooked chin.

Answer: Customizing a chin implant Many different types and shapes of implants exist to address many different types of chins. In your scenario, an implant that has more augmentation on the sides and less in the middle can create the more "straight" chin you are looking for.In addition, most chin implants are made of silicone. A nice quality about silicone is that it can be trimmed or shaved to sculpt an implant into a shape that will work best for you. Most implants can be fine-tuned with some sculpting to give you augmentation in the areas you it the most.Best of luck with your decision.

Answer: Can a chin implant make chin more broad? Hi, non smiling photos of your face from the front and side would help in the evaluation. I have performed many Chin Augmentations using chin implants for over 30 years. A weak chin creates an imbalance making the nose appear larger, the mid face top heavy and the lower face look short that de-emphasizes the lips and allows early formation of a double chin. Chin augmentation using a chin implant will add projection to the chin creating harmony and balance to the lower face. 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. I perform chin implant surgery in 30 minutes or less, often using a local anesthetic alone. In cases where the anterior (frontward) chin projection is appropriate but the sides of the chin require augmentation, I prefer using a dermal filler (Restylane Lyft).Hope this helps.
