Can a chin implant help my short face syndrome or would I need jaw surgery?

There is fat under your chin on your lower face. That's why your face looks shorter and thicker. That's why we can perform an operation called submentoplasty. It involves the removal of fatty deposits and the tightening of muscles underneath the chin and in the neck.

Placement of a chin implant for a recessive chin is much less invasive than jaw surgery. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia as an outpatient procedure, which takes about 30 minutes. If your teeth are significantly out of alignment, consider jaw surgery performed by an oral surgeon under general anesthesia in a hospital setting with an overnight stay at the hospital and is much more invasive.
