I have a severely recessed chin and retrognathia. I don't want to do a double jaw surgery and years of braces, as recommended by my orthodontist. I am absolutely fine with my dental profile and just wish to have my chin project forwards, cosmetically. I am just curious to know if I would be disqualified as a chin implant candidate because of my recessed jaw and slight overbite. If I could have one, could a very large implant which would probably be used in my case cause any problems?

Answer: Chin implant: what you should know Thank you for your question and for providing photos. You are likely a candidate to receive a chin implant to improve the appearance of your recessed chin, define the jawline, and create balance among your facial features. In your case, it is possible that the orthodontics you mentioned may need to be considered in addition to implanting a chin implant to achieve the most optimal result. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon. They will be able to review your orthodontist’s recommendations, discuss your concerns with you, and help you determine the best treatment plan to achieve your aesthetic goals.

Answer: Genioplasty over Implant I would recommend you really consider jaw surgery before making any final decisions. Jaw problems tend to become worse with age, and the recovery does as well. If you are 100% sure you do not want to go that route, then a genioplasty would get you the results you are looking for. This would bring your chin forward and down, creating more facial balance and the projection you are looking for. It will also add length and definition to your jawline. A chin implant is limited to its movement and placement, and would not achieve the best outcome. One of the main benefits of a genioplasty is that it lasts forever, and the whole procedure is done through the mouth, which means no external scarring. I would say a genioplasty would be the best option for you to achieve your aesthetic goal. Our office provides morph photo simulations of your expected outcome, so you have a better idea of what the result would look like. We would be happy to schedule a consultation to discuss your options further!

Answer: Chin surgery Your chin is recessive and short in height. I would recommend a vertically lengthening genioplasty with advancement. No braces or double jaw surgery is required. The genioplasty is done in the office with intravenous anesthesia and does not change or affect your bite.
