Ive had a chin implant and obviously didnt help. What procedure will have a permanent solution and will make a huge change to my appearance???
Answer: Masculine facial structure Thank you for your question and photos. Aside from having better lighting and a professional photographer to catch the best angles, the two models you have shown are likely very lean. I certainly cannot know your complete body habitus from the photos you posted, but you appear to be carrying more weight in your face than either of the model photos. While you could certainly augment your mandibular angles, have a larger chin implant placed, and your buccal fat pockets reduced, I would suggest hitting the gym. Both of those models probably have body fat percentages hovering around 5-7%. This allows the angles of the face (cheek bones, jaw line) to be much more prominent. I would suggest doing this prior to entertaining any surgery. All the best!

Answer: Mandibular Augmentation Thanks for your question along with your photos and amusing cartoon figures. Based on the photos of what you are hoping to achieve, it appears that you desire stronger lateral and/ or posterior augmentation of your jawbone or mandible. Fortunately, you may be a candidate for either the Taylor Lateral Mandibular Angle implant or Taylor Posterior Mandibular Angle Implant from Implantech, Inc. Please research these implants and consult with an experienced, reputable surgeon for a complete exam and consultation. Hope this answer gives you some direction for your search.

Answer: Wanting a more masculine appearance Dear Sammy2811, It appears that you want a more chiseled look to masculinize your features. I would suggest buccal fat pad removal as shown in a similar patient in the link I sent below. I do not think a larger chin implant would necessarily achieve the look you desire however consultation and examination would further determine your goals and probable results. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.

Answer: What can be done to be more masculine/attractive? Hi, I have performed many facial shaping procedures including chin augmentations, using a chin implant, over the past 30 years. From the photos, your chin is still a bit weak creating an imbalance that makes the nose appear larger, the lower face short and the mid face appear top heavy. A larger size chin implant will add projection to the chin creating harmony and balance to the lower face. I have found placing a silastic chin implant through a small, curved, incisions under the chin to be very safe, quick, highly effective and far less invasive than a sliding genioplasty that requires bone cuts with placement of screws and metal plates. Following the beauty principles outlined in my book on face and body beauty, male faces look ruggedly handsome when there is angularity in the cheeks, chin and mandibular angles. In addition to chin augmentation, cheek augmentation with either a dermal filler or cheek implants (for a permanent enhancement) will add angularity to the cheeks. Mandibular angle augmentation with a dermal filler (jaw implants IMHO have too many unwanted side effects) will add volume, angularity and flare to the jaw line. Hope this helps.
