I am a female considering chin augmentation. I have a small face and some early jowling. My doctor recommended a Mittelman pre-jowl chin implant, small. I’ve read that for women an extended anatomical implant is preferred. Is there a major difference between the two implants? Worried my jaw will look too square/boxy
Answer: Chin/jaw augmentation with implants Without in person evaluation and discussion about your concerns and expectations it would be impossible to give you good advice. Second opinion consultation may help. Good luck.

Answer: Female chin implant Be aware that any chin implant that has extensions have a high probability of making the small female chin look too boxy. It would be important to see computer imaging of how your chin width will change with either of these chin implant styles.

Answer: Pre-jowl chin implant versus extended anatomical Both implants are made by Implantech and are solid silicone chin implants. In our practice for over 25 years, we have used the mittlemen pre-jowl chin implants with an excellent success rate. The size of the implant matters much more than the shape. Important to remember that the implant is placed completely underneath the skin, the fat, the muscle, and the periosteum of the chin area which is approximately half an inch thick. Critically important to get the size right, not the shape. In our practice, chin implants are usually placed under local anesthesia, however general anesthesia is also an option. For many examples of mittlemen pre-jpwl chin implant size small and medium, please see the link and the video below

Answer: Which chin implant There is no best implant. Style and size is based on physical examination. If no implant is ideal for a patient, the implant chosen can carved to obtain the modification needed for that patient. I now rarely use implants and prefer fat transfer. Properly performed fat transfer will obtain a result as long lasting result as implants and can contour the chin better than an implant.

Answer: Chin Implant Size and Selection Implantech Tech, Inc makes several excellent chin implant shapes and these come in a variety of sizes as well. There is no set rule as to the best type of chin implant for all women, since the decision is based on one's particular facial anatomy and personal goals. The Mittelman Pre-jowl implant is an excellent choice for many individuals. Another popular choice in my practice the the Conform Extended Anatomical implant. Both offer soft jawline contour changes, along with improved projection and are not known for a "boxy or square" look. Overall, your physician's experience and expertise can offer you appropriate guidance. Perhaps a second opinion from a trusted facial plastic specialist should be considered if you remain unsure about the recommendation for the Mittelman style implant. Best wishes.
