Whats the Most Vertical Projection a Chin Implant Can Give?

This can vary depending on the implant used, as there are many options available. During a consultation, your prospective surgeon can examine your facial structure and determine what type of implant would best suit your needs and give you the outcome you are looking for. He or she may use computer imaging software, which will help give you an idea of how the final result of surgery may appear. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.

There are many different brands, styles, and sizes of chin implants.  The type of implant used is normally decided upon at the time of consultation so that your face can be evaluated and a determination can be made as to which implant would fit your face the best.  The vertical height of the implants can all vary, depending on the size and shape that is used.
