Would a chin implant improve my side profile, and help minimize the pads under my lips and protrusion of my lips/mouth?

February 3, 2016
Asked By:Heather87659 in Susanville, CA

I am wondering if a chin implant would work for me to help improve my side profile. I have never liked my mouth, it's large and I have large teeth and lips to go with it. I hate the pads under my lips and how they seem to stick out. I also am unable to close my mouth all the way when relaxed. Would a chin implant help fix this? Is there other options, better options maybe? Should I even just leave well enough alone? Thoughts appreciated!
