Receding Chin - 17 Year Old Male

It is difficult to confirm online based on your photos, but you may benefit from a chin implant. To know for sure, I suggest beginning with an in-person consultation to discuss your options. During your initial examination, your #chin will be evaluated along with the neck and jawline. A weak #chin implies a lack of chin support for the skin along the neck line. In younger individuals a chin implant alone is usually all that is needed to improve the appearance of the neck. Subsequently, it will also improve the overall #balance of the face and can create the illusion of a smaller nose. As a stand-alone procedure, chin augmentation can be performed in the office under local #anesthesia. For individuals with signs of #aging in the neck, a chin implant added to one of the recommended procedures above, will provide optimal results. Also, #liposuction under the chin is also another option your doctor can discuss. If you are not a candidate for chin or neck rejuvenation at the time of your #consultation, your board certified plastic surgeon can recommend alternatives to address your concern. 
However, there may be additional options to improve the appearance of your concern to improve the overall balance of your face. Such can be best evaluated in-person. Consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in #face, #neck and #chin procedures is important to ensure you are receiving the best advice, care, and surgical experience possible.

If you have a normal bite, then a silicone chin implant will produce the desired result with minimal down time.  The surgery involves a small incision inside your month or under you chin, through which a silicone implant of desired size and shape is placed over your chin.  This will enhance your chin projection and/or lenght. 

If your bite is normal, I would recommend an extended anatomic chin implant that will help to add length as well as increase the up and down or superior and inferior extension of your chin. The newer chin implants conform to the bone and can bring the whole chin forward. I hope this information helps.

It seems that you are an excellent candidate for a chin implant.  in the absence of bite problems, as you have noted, advancement of the chin is also a viable option.  The chin implant, however, will be a more simple and easier procedure for you to undergo.  

Based on your photoshop skills I would also recommend you consider a career in plastic surgery!

You are an excellent candidate for any of the above procedures and you should seek an in person consultation to discuss the risks, alternatives adn benefits as well as the costs of these options.

If you have no issues with your bite and are looking to enhance the contour of your jaw with a chin implant, I think you are a great candidate for the procedure. Chin implants are a great option to provide more projection and contour for a recessed, or weak, chin. There a various shaped implants and sizes available to allow for individualized surgical planning. Make sure you consult with a plastic surgeon who has experience in placement of chin implants. Also make sure that you see plenty photos of prior patients who have had successful chin implant surgery by your doctor. Good luck!

Chin augmentation is a straightforward procedure, often completed in about 30 minutes!  By the look of your profile photo, your jawline and facial structure would likely benefit from placement of a chin implant.  Mentoplasty requires a small incision (2cm) placed under your chin that allows us to place an implant that essentially incorporates iteself into your face, adding horizontal chin volume.  It won't add to the vertical dimension of your face (this is a different procedure called a genioplasty), so a mentoplasty doesn't make your face longer.  It just gives you a stronger jawline.  This balances out an individual's facial proportions, which is typically interpreted as a more handsome or attractive face as regarded by onlookers.  So mentoplasty is quick, safe, and makes you look better....  What's not to love about mentoplasty?

You are an excellent candidate for a chin implant. A quide to seeing if it would help would be to draw a line from your forehead, the bottom of your nose and your chin. If your chin is in back of this line, you are a good candidate and an implant or osteotomy will help. Women'chins are slightly in back of this line. I usually recommend a chin implant for it is usually easier and can be performed as an outpatient.
