Did I choose surgery years ago that is making me look worse now? (Photo)

Asked By:Terrific6575 in Pennsylvania, PA

32 years ago at age 32.5 I got a hard silicone chin implant when I had my rhinoplasty. I have been happy with the result until about 5 years ago when at age 59 I definitely noticed "jowls" or prejowl sulchus(?) I wear sunscreen on my face and neck and topical skin care but I feel like my face has dramatically sagged into a rectangular shape. Is this exacerbated by the type of implant or placement or is it just being 64.5 years old?

Thank you for your question and your photos.To improve the chin you have two options; a chin implant or an osseous genioplasty.  Both have pros and cons.   It looks like you have a nice square, masculine chin, but you need more horizontal projection. If you would like better definition at the...

Michael Elam, MD (retired) says:

An in office examination and being able to palpate the implant will provide the most precise diagnosis.
