Which chin implant would give me a smoother, prominent jawline?

Question

Hello Doctors! I’m worried there isn’t a flat implant large enough to bring out my receded chin to my bottom lip line for even proportions. Is there a flatter, NON-bulbous or knobby chin implant on the market? Or would I have to pay extra for a custom smoother chin/jaw implant? To get the smoother filled in chin I’m looking for I would prefer not to have any bone cutting/sliding geno done. When I push my jaw forward it looks much more proportionate to my face but still not enough.

Hello and thank you for your question and photographs submitted.Chin implants can be contoured before insertion and in my practice this is the norm. The decision regarding how much additional projection is needed is helped significantly by 3D imaging and simulations. Based on the degree of increase in projection and the width of the chin in the simulation it is possible to adjust the implant to match.Porous polyethylene implants ( Medpor or equivalent) can be shaped with relatively good precision. Custom made implants can also help.

Hello, thank you for your question. You may benefit from a chin implant, the chin implant will provide projection to the chin and balance your face more. I recommend you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.

There are a whole host of options for improving the chin and the jawline which range from a jaw advancement, chin advancement, implants in the jawline and the chin, skin lift or even fat injection. The best decision will come from a consultation, in person or through video, after considering all of these options by a plastic surgeon who has craniofacial training.

There is definitely deficiency in the jaw and chin here.  Your mid-face seem to be fine.  You have two options:1. Either go through Invisalign and re-create the over bite, then have jaw advancement surgery or 2. Sliding genioplasty with down grafting.

Chin implants are manufactured in a large array of thicknesses, sizes, and shapes which is going to best be determined at the time the consultation and examination. The chin, the mandible and implants are all three-dimensional, and the augmentation occurs in all three dimensions. This includes mostly  Forward projection, some lateral width, and a small amount of vertical height. For over 25 years, we have used Implantech brand of solid silicone chin implants with an excellent success rate.
