Suitable candidate for chin implant? (photos)

Question

Hi there. What are you thoughts on a chin implant and my ideal expectations. Do you think this would be a suitable procedure? I have already had buccal fat removal a few weeks ago given I have high extremely high hard cheekbones and a rounder face when lean, which I got myself to a low body fat before going under this procedure. Basically I just want to create a more defined look and generally keep my beard a bit longer as this bothers me being slightly recessed

Dear Straightforward435226,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Your own imaging shows a moderate chin augmentation effect in the 6 to 8mm range. But this is just one view of the face and it would be equally important to know the effects you are looking for in the front view as well as this really makes the decision as to whether a standard or custom chin implant is needed.

The beard camouflages the true projection of your chin, so be helpful shave that off to get a more accurate computer imaging. In our practice, chin implants are usually placed under local anesthesia as an outpatient procedure which takes approximately 30 minutes. The Implants placed through a small incision underneath the chin.

Your chin seems to have better projection then the person in your example picture.

I suggest having a few in person consultations or maybe follow up with the surgeon who did your buccal fat removal.

Best,
