What can I do for my deep labiomental fold and weak chin? (photos)

Your understanding is correct and anterior or forward augmentation of your chin will by definition worsen the labiomental fold.

You can raise the fold with fillers which is a much better option than fat transfer in my opinion.

Vertical augmentation can give a nice affect without worsening the angle or vertical augmentation with very slight forward combined may be acceptable.

Oral surgeons who do good work with a sliding genioplasty tend to get this concept a little better but it can be achieved with implants by a plastic surgeon as well.

There are also plastic surgeons who do sliding genioplasty procedures but it seems to be done more commonly by oral surgeons.

It’s a balancing act and excepting a partial improvement and balancing a desire for more chin projection with a deepening labiomental angle is simply part of that balancing act.

Consult with oral surgeons and local plastic surgeons and find providers who seem to understand what you’re trying to achieve then make a decision.

There’s nothing wrong with leaving your face alone and not having treatment either.

Maybe that in the end is the best option.

19 year old guys should spend less time looking in the mirror and instead look at what to pursue and mount.
