I have always been self conscious of my round face and I'm looking to balance out the unevenness and take care of my recessed chin. I just did 20 units of Botox in the right masseter to help the unevenness and 6 units of Botox in chin to prep for next appt to have the chin augmented with filler. Looking for more recommendations or do you think I'm on the right track to achieve my ultimate goal? Thank you
Answer: Chin recommendations Without an exam your question cannot be answered. You will need to see an Oral/Maxillofacial surgeon to see if othognathic surgery, genioplasty or using an implant is best for your specific case. It should be noted that patients with severely weak jaws or abnormally functioning jaws may be better treated with other facial surgery (orthognathic surgery), although a chin augmentation may be an option at a later time. These patients should seek the advice of a plastic surgeon to determine which course is right for them. Here is some information to help you make this decision: Candidates for Chin Augmentation - Patients whose chin profiles are weak but have normally functioning jaws are candidates for Chin Augmentation. Many of these candidates have used injectable fillers in the past to strengthen the protrusion of their chins, but are looking for a permanent solution. If you are one of these patients, then you are a likely candidate for chin augmentation

Answer: Round face / unevenness/ recessed chin recommendations? (Photo) You look great and some minor things will make you very happy. Regarding chin augmentation, filler or implant are both great options. Only downside to filler is that in a few years you've spent more than you would have on surgery.

Answer: Chin augmentation Based on your photos, it appears you would be best served with the placement of a chin implant. You would benefit from augmentation of the chin in both the horizontal and vertical dimensions. In addition, it appears that you have some significant asymmetry of your chin, as seen in the frontal view photo. My preferred method of placing chin implants is through a small incision underneath the chin.

Answer: Chin implant for recessed chin Fillers are temporary, and do not work very well when placed in the mandible. Fillers are usually placed for patients for soft tissue augmentation, not a bony augmentation. Chin implants work quite well for patients who have a weak and recessive chin profile, and are permanent. The implants themselves are usually placed through a small incision underneath the chin under local anesthesia as an outpatient surgical procedure. Chin implants are manufactured out of solid silicone, can be custom carved when necessary, and are manufactured in a large variety of sizes and shapes.

Answer: Facial Reshaping The two most important changes you can make to your face come from a chin augmentation and central facial defatting. Filler is not an ideal approach to your chin deficiency unless you simply want to test how a little bit of chin augmentation would look. Your chin is deficient in several dimensions (vertical and horizontal) and filler will not approximate the real type of chin augmentation change you really need.
