What surgery should I get to correct the appearance of my chin? What is the average cost? (Photo)

Thank you for the photos. Before you proceed with surgery, you should try a little botox to the mentalis muscle over the chin, which is a 1 minute office procedure that can help that "witch's chin" shape you described.

Thank you for your pictures. Your problem is challenging. You have a hyper dynamic mentalis muscle. There is no surgery for that type of issue. You may try minute doses of Botox to dampen the muscle activity enough so that this contour does not occur when you smile, but keeps your muscle active enough for its daily functions such a smiling maintaining your oral competence. Best wishes!

Thank you for your question. The movement of the chin when smiling can produce the impression that the chin point goes up, down, or flattens.

In your situation, the chin point appears to come down relatively strong, breaking the contour continuity with the rest of the jawline.

This is a dynamic problem and the chin contour at rest is very good

The best treatment for situations like this is to use botulinum toxin to decrease the activity in the chin muscles when smiling. This tends to maintain even contours between the jawline and the chin, as the chin retains its resting position when you smile.

I can see that there is a little bit of droopiness of your chin with smiling, however, the success rate of procedures to elevate the soft tissue pad are unknown to me. In that regard, please try to find a specialist who is well versed in lifting the soft tissue chin pad. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Your photos show larger, bulky chin that needs shaping and possibly lift. That is different than simple augmentation with implant. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with good reputation in facial rejuvenation surgery is recommended. Good luck.

You have done a great job reviewing the potential treatment options. The best answer is likely to be a combination of things. I'd suggest considering chin augmentation along with excision of soft tissue through a submental approach. I do a lot of chin surgery and that has been very successful.
