Would a chin filler or genioplasty be suitable for an Asian female with a tiny structured face? (Photo)

Question

I never liked my side profile and my chin looks quite weak. I don’t know which would be better for me price wise and my chin has always been my insecurity. I done fillers but don’t want to keep retouching them.

Not 1 side view posted photo limited recommendations. HA chin filler long lasting like Radeisse, Juvederm Voluma/Vollure, Restylane can last up to 1 year +. You chips very easy. Fees from $800-$1,800_+. Chin implants are a simple operation using different sizes ace shapes. I might use extended anatomic implant. Fees $4,000-$10,000. Now Genioplasty is a major operation with over 1 month healing high fees, in the area of $20,000+. Best to virtual consult with…

Fillers are only temporary, and are much more expensive to keep redoing over and over again. Placement of Chin implant can augment the chin forward when there's recessive mandible as shown in the photograph. Chin implants can be performed under local anesthesia and outpatient procedure which takes approximately 30 minutes. A sliding genioplasty is performed by an oral surgeon under general anesthesia in a hospital setting with an overnight stay and is much more invasive. A sliding genioplasty is usually performed when the teeth are significantly out of alignment

The shape of your chin looks fairly ideal for augmentation. It can be done using an implant, fillers or sliding genioplasty. if you consult with oral surgeons my best guess is they’ll recommend a sliding genioplasty. if you talk to a plastic surgeon they’re more likely to recommend an implant. If you go to a med spa they’re going to tell you fillers is all you need.
Do you want a permanent treatment or some thing that needs to be redone every six months?I suggest interviewing with both oral surgeons and local board-certified plastic surgeons. Ask to see each providers entire collection of before and after pictures especially patients with similar facial characteristics to your own.
Asked to see excellent outcomes, average outcomes and less than outcomes.
Find the surgeon who has the most experience with consistent quality outcomes based on the seeing as many before and after pictures as they’re willing to show you. An experienced surgeon should have no difficulty showing you at least 50 sets of before and after pictures for commonly performed procedures. 
Best,
