I have a very small, round face and would prefer an elongated face shape (preferably oval or heart shaped) with a sharper chin. Would a chin implant be able to do both or would buccal fat removal in addition to an implant be more effective in achieving a thinner, larger face? Is there an alternate procedure that’d be better than either of these?
Answer: Would a chin implant fix my stout, round face? Thank you for your question. From the appearance of your profile, a chin implant would help contour your face and jawline a bit, and would certainly change the shape of your face. However, there are other options to try before committing to a chin implant. I would recommend using facial fillers to augment your chin, and while it requires consistent injections, the advantage is that you can experiment with different volumes before undergoing surgery with an implant. That being said, keep two things in mind: one, you are SO YOUNG, and beautiful as is. Most of us hated our nose or chin or eyes when we were 18, and as we got older, realized that our unique features gave us character and reflected our heritage - all good things. Secondly, if you do decide to explore surgery or fillers, make sure that you consult a board certified facial plastic surgeon to ensure the best possible results. Good luck!

Answer: Vertical Chin Elongation Your assumption is correct in that a longer chin will help deround your face. This can be done through a specially designed vertical lengthening chin implant or an opening wedge bony genioplasty.
