Would a chin implant work to improve my side profile? (Photos)

Question

I have always hated my profile and I am now seriously considering fixing it. I really do not want to do a geneioplasty as it's a too heavy surgery for me and I can't afford to be down for two long. I am not too sure how many cm I would need but I think I fall under the large implant category and I am worried about the complications this could bring. I am not concerned about the front look but mostly from the side. How many cm would I ideally need and am I a good candidate for chin implant by the look of my pictures?

You are an excellent candidate for a chin implant.  I recommend a large or extra large chin implant that has wings that extend laterally to make a smoother transition.

Best Wishes,

You seem to have severe micrognathia/microgenia; this means small lower jaw and small chin. Providing that you do not have significant  bite issue, chin augmentation can be achieved with implant or genioplasty; recovery from both procedures should be about the same. In person consultation with a board certified plastic or maxilla-facial (oral) surgeon is recommended. Good luck.
