Is my labiomental crease too deep for a small chin implant? (photo)
January 26, 2025
Asked By:Sean2257 in Roxborough, County Galway, Ireland
I have a slightly recessed chin and am looking for ways to enhance it. From the front, it appears a little small, and I would like a slightly wider, more robust appearance. From the side, it’s recessed and I would like to add some projection without creating a “witch-chin” due to an overly deep labiomental crease. My prejowl sulcus area is also a little weak, and my hope was that a winged implant would tick all these boxes?

Computer Imaging before chin implant surgery is more reliable than before a filler, since we know the exact dimensions of a chin implant that would be inserted. I think it's very helpful for patients when they can visualize what to expect, before undergoing the surgery. I hope this helps!...
