Looking to get chin implant. I have a weak chin and currently get fillers but looking for something that will last longer term without breaking the bank in fillers every 6-12 months. Should i get flowers mandibular glove or anatomical implant? i want something with projection and is more narrow— i do NOT want something that is wide and masculin/large. Definitely want something that is feminine and will provide my face with more balance.

Answer: Large implant is required You have a very weak chin. A sliding genioplasty or a chin implant are both options. If you were more interested in a chin implant, a larger implant would give you the best result. In women, I recommend using Implantech Conform Extended Anatomical Chin Implant. The largest size I will use is the large, which gives 6.2 mm of projection. I will not use anything larger as I feel there is a risk of bone resorption with use of bigger silicone implants. If I patient desires a larger implant than this, we recommend using MedPor chin implants. We like to use Vectra 3D imaging to help with sizing of the implants.

Answer: Custom chin implant Hi, Unfortunately, the implant types you mentioned are not masculine or feminine. Aesthetics alone is only one possible concern you should be mindful of when deciding the type of implant you choose. Standard or off-the-shelf implants present many issues, even when the surgery is done correctly. You have a rather soft (very feminine) appearance, and any discrepancies will be noticeable. A custom chin implant will guarantee the best aesthetic results when designed harmoniously and tastefully. Please learn more about the differences between standard and custom chin implants. If you have any other questions, give my office a shout. Good luck.
