I'd like to correct my downward grown chin and am considering a chin implant. Does this sound like an acceptable approach, and are there any other approaches I should consider?

Answer: Correct my downward grown chin If you look at the picture, your chin is really long vertically and its really short, or non projecting horizontally. A chin implant can bring the chin forward, but not make it less long, so you'd wind up with an abnormally large chin with just an implant..

Answer: Genioplasty When you have a vertical facial growth pattern with inability to naturally close the lips, the tension in the chin 'muscle' is notable and the 'height of the chin' is an important factor. A genioplasty is far more indicated than an implant which may shift and resorb/fall into; the underlying bone given the muscle activity
