With something as big as plastic surgery, I want to be a 100% sure that I want to go through with it. As of now, I am very nervous about getting a chin implant. I've been doing a lot of research on realself, but have unfortunately read of many cases that have ultimately ended in removals which have made me very hesitant. I have attached pictures for review & advice, and was wondering if a chin implant looks right for me, and if there is a high possibility that I might not like the result.

Answer: Chin implant for recessive chin A Silastic chin implant is an excellent way to augment the chin area, and in experienced hands, has a very low complication rate. Its also important to make sure during the consultation that you and your surgeon pick the right size and shape based on your needs at time of examination. A Silastic chin implant is usually inserted through a submental approach, placed directly over the bone, and underneath the periosteum. The procedure can be performed under local anesthesia, if patients are able to tolerate the local anesthetic injection.

Answer: Chin augmentation
Chin implants will cause the bone to erode with time - which will cause your chin to recede and/or the implant to start to move. Chin implants are good options, but for younger patients I tend to recommend a genioplasty (actually moving the chin bone forward itself). Find a surgeon in your area who is trained in craniofacial surgery and discuss the options with him/her.
