Am I a good candidate for a Chin Implant? (photo)

Question

Would it look good/natural? Does it add height to the face? (I don't really want a long face). Can it fix my horrible jawline? I'm 5'9", 120 lbs.

Purely based on your photos, it does appear that you would be a good candidate for a chin implant. Of course you should have a proper consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to come up with a plan that's right for you.

Jonathan Kulbersh, MD · Answer

Thank you for providing photos along with your question. It’s impossible to make a recommendation without an in-person consultation. However, based on your photos, you do appear to have a recessed jawline. You may benefit from chin augmentation procedures, such as a chin or mandibular implant. Jawline contouring with minimally invasive dermal fillers is another less permanent option to consider. I highly recommend visiting a board-certified facial plastic surgeon for a comprehensive evaluation and individualized treatment plan to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

A formal evaluation would be needed to determine what's best. Many of my patients try to avoid surgery, so we perform a non-surgical chin augmentation treatment with injectable fillers. Fillers like Radiesse, Voluma, BellaFill as well as Sculptra are injected into the area, improving the overall appearance of the lower face and balancing the jaw and lip harmony. We use cannula injections to meticulously contour and project the chin, soften the chin along the jawline and improve the chin crease.

Implants are still a great option once you are 100% positive that you are ready for a permanent enhancement.​ I suggest getting a consultation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert; our practice is located right here in Los Angeles. Best, Dr. Emer

Dear AnonGuy97,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you would be a great candidate for chin augmentation. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
