Problem with deep mentolabial fold, should I opt for a chin implant with my rhinoplasty? (Photos)

Based on your photos, you appear to have a nicely projected chin appearance. Adding a chin implant would only make the crease above your chin worse. Sometimes, injectable fillers can't be considered for softening the appearance of a deep labiomental crease, however, care needs to be taken to place the filler at the proper depth. And I'll practice, we prefer to use microdroplet Silikon-1000 for permanent results. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

You are not a candidate for a chin implant. Your chin is protruding far enough and an implant would make your situation worse.

Best Wishes,

The correct treatment for a deep mentolabial fold is a lengthening sliding genioplasty. A chin implant would make the fold even more profound. When the chin is lengthened, the lower facial balance will improve dramatically. I would not recommend a chin implant.

It would be helpful to post a better set of photographs in a chin neutral position, which includes your nose to make a determination about how best to proceed with both procedures versus just a rhinoplasty
