Do I need a bigger chin implant? (photos)

Thank you for your question. Without examining you in person, it is impossible to tell if you need a larger implant. However, your images do suggest a larger implant might provide the additional projection you want. My recommendation would be to talk to the plastic surgeon who performed your implant surgery. They can assess your needs and determine if surgical or nonsurgical enhancement is needed to achieve your desired results. Best of luck!

An in-person evaluation would be needed to discuss what your options are. Ultimately it is up to your preference if you would like a more pronounced chin. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

If the projection from the chin implant was underwhelming then it is a question of either a larger chin implant or converting to a sliding genioplasty is needed. (depending upon what size the current implant is) But expecting a better jawline from a chin implant is a fundamental misunderstanding of what a chin implant can do. A chin implant is not a jawline augmentation procedure, it is just increasing the projection of the front end of the chin. Augmenting what lies behind the chin (jawline) is a different implant procedure which is often combined with a chin implant component to achieve an overall lower third of the face augmentation. In short chin implants are not a jawline augmentation procedure, only a wraparound jawline implant achieves that effect.
