I'm fairly insecure about my profile when clean shaven and was wondering if a chin implant would be a good idea. However, my issue is that I don't really want to tell my parents about it. Should I bother?

Answer: 20 year old guy thinking of getting a chin implant, but I don't want my family members to know. Should I bother? Hi, I have performed many Chin Augmentations using chin implants for over 30 years. From the attached photo, your chin is quite weak which creates an imbalance making the nose appear larger, the mid face top heavy, the lower face appears short, de-emphasizes the lips and allows early formation of a "double chin". In addition there is some excess skin below the chin that compounds the above. I perform chin implant surgery in 30 minutes or less, often using local anesthetic alone and find using silastic chin implants to be far less invasive than a sliding genioplasty that requires bone cuts, screws or metal plates. We have placed chin implants in many active males in law enforcement, SWAT, military and professional fighters. We advice them to shave prior to the chin implant surgery and then let their beard grow. The swelling goes down quickly such that shaving at 2 weeks hides the fact that they had surgery. Hope this helps.
