Can someone show me what I would look like after a chin augmentation? (photo)

Question

I am looking for a simulated before and after picture.

Without the benefit of a complete exam, have a friend take a profile picture of you in a relaxed position, then move your jaw forward and ask them to take another or several photos. This should give you an idea of what your profile would look like with a genioplasty of chin implant. Good luck!

Hello and thank you for your question.You are taking the right steps by bringing pictures of chins that you "like" as well as those that you do not like. In my office, you would look at pictures of other male patients that received chin implants. I then like to do computer imaging of pictures that take of you so that we can get a good idea of what you want your chin to look like. After you click on the reference below, you can go to the Photo Gallery section to see some examples. Sincerely,

Without an exam your question cannot be answered.  You will need to see an Oral/Maxillofacial surgeon to see if othognathic surgery, genioplasty or using an implant is best for your specific case. It should be noted that patients with severely weak jaws or abnormally functioning jaws may be better treated with other facial surgery (orthognathic surgery), although a chin augmentation may be an option at a later time. These patients should seek the advice of a plastic surgeon to determine which course is right for them. Here is some information to help you make this decision: Candidates for Chin Augmentation - Patients whose chin profiles are weak but have normally functioning jaws are candidates for Chin Augmentation. Many of these candidates have used injectable fillers in the past to strengthen the protrusion of their chins, but are looking for a permanent solution. If you are one of these patients, then you are a likely candidate for chin augmentation

I do not believe you need a chin surgery. The shape of your chin is fine. Your lower jaw is back and needs to come forward. If you do chin surgery, you will ruin the labiomental fold.

William Portuese, MD · Answer

Computer imaging is usually part of the in-person consultation process. Chin implants are manufactured in a large variety of sizes and shapes, so it also depends upon the size of the implant that's inserted. In addition, some patients want very subtle result, while other patients want a more moderate/ significant result. On the link located below there is a software module installed on our website  which allows patients  to do their own computer Imaging.
