Will a Small Chin Implant Be Very Noticeable? (photo)

Obviously without examining you I can only give you a limited opinion.  In my experience I have never placed a small chin implant in a male.  If you were my patient I would place a medium and large sizer in first and have you evaluate it on the table.  Most of my chin implants are placed in the office under local anesthetic through a submental (external chin)  incision.  My advice would be to request either a medium or large prosthetic.

Hey Thathoustonguy,

First off, Hook'em Horns!  We've got a bowl game coming up.  Now, with that out of the way.

Generally less is more.  Your profile would be improved significantly with a small to medium chin implant.  The small is larger than you think.  If you're thinking of not having one at all. . .would the beard work?. .. .etc, then definitely go with the small.  I think you'd be pleased.  It'll balance your nose and face very nicely.

People will notice the smaller implant. . .but then they won't and that's the idea.  They'll say, "Hey, you look a little different, you look good."  Not, "what'd you do to your face."  

Go small but pick the right shape.  Your chin has good height, it just needs projection so you want an implant that is not too pointed.

Best of luck
