Am I suitable for a chin implant? Sliding genioplasty/fat grafting? (Photo)

July 22, 2019
Asked By:qwewera in Singapore, SG

I am looking for a subtle enhancement to my chin to improve my side profile. I feel that I do not need to elongate my jaw but I need some forward projection. The left photo is my current side profile, the middle photo is what I am looking to achieve and the right photo is a bigger enhancement for comparison purposes. Would a chin implant work for my weak chin? What size implant should I get Instead of having a chin implant, can I also achieve the same results through fat grafting to the chin?

Chin bone loss after 10 years with implant, what to expect in the future? Do I need a jaw reconstruction? (photo)
Gerald Wittenberg, MSc, DMD (retired) says:

The key is to understand that all chin implants cause bone resorption/depressions under the implant due to the pressure of the overlying chin muscle.
