I have quite a large overbite and a weak chin. This has always been one of my biggest insecurities since I can remember. Would a chin implant help give me a nicer profile and what would be an estimated cost?

Answer: A chin implant for a weak chin A chin implant can modify your profile. It's an easy procedure with minimal downtime. Costs range from about $4000 and upward.However, if you have a large overbite with a weak chin, then an alternative to consider is jaw bone surgery where the bone is brought forward and teeth aligned. Results between an implant and bone surgery are different, with one not necessarily being "best". If you haven't already, then speak with a plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon to perform an examination and review options with you.Best,Dr. Chaboki

Answer: Chin implant candidate A chin implant can be placed for patients who have a weak and recessive chin profile, as demonstrated in the photographs. Chin implants are placed through a small incision underneath the chin under local anesthesia as an outpatient procedure. Chin implants are manufactured in a variety of sizes and shapes, are composed of Silastic, and can be custom carved when necessary to match patient's unique anatomy.
