Chin implant it too big and makes my face look longer. Will it get better? Would steroid injections help? (photos)

At this point, it is not likely that swelling is causing the problem. If you are unhappy with the results, the implant can be removed and replaced with a smaller implant. The other option is removal of the implant and a sliding genioplasty. I find that larger implants in women tend to increase the width and make the appearance more masculine. Sometimes a custom implant is better.

Hello !

It's possible that residual swelling could be contributing to your dissatisfaction with the appearance of your chin after your buccal fat removal and chin implant surgery. Steroid injections may be helpful in reducing swelling and inflammation, but this is something that should be discussed with your surgeon.

It's important to keep in mind that it can take several months to see the final results of these procedures, and swelling can persist for some time. However, if you are still unhappy with the appearance of your chin after the swelling has subsided, there are other options that may be worth considering.

One option is to have a revision surgery to address any remaining issues with the appearance of your chin. This would involve discussing your concerns with your surgeon and working together to develop a plan for how to address them.

Another option is to try non-surgical treatments to address any remaining concerns. This could include dermal fillers to add volume or reshape the chin, or Kybella injections to reduce excess fat in the area.

It's important to speak with your surgeon about your concerns and discuss all of your options before making a decision. They may be able to offer additional guidance or recommend other treatments based on your individual needs and goals.


Best of luck !
