I am 30 year old female looking to give more balance to my face. Would a chin implant be the right choice? I was recommended either with a mini necklift by a local maxofacial surgeon but want second opinions. Thank you
Answer: Would a genioplasty or chin implant be better for me? Based on limited photos, you appear to be a candidate for a chin implant extended laterally into the jaw area as well as liposuction of sub-mental fat pocket. You may also consider Buccal fat removal to overall improve facial Aesthetics. I suggest that you seek an experienced Board Certified PS and discuss your options

Answer: We prefer chin implant surgery oh genioplasty surgery, in general. Based on your photos, you may indeed be a good candidate for chin implant surgery. This would function in improving your jawline, and also in adding Heit to the lower 1/3 of your face on front view. Genioplasty has much more downtime, and my opinion, has a much less predictable result. And if you don't like the way your chin implant looks, they are ridiculously easy to remove. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

Answer: Chin implant vs Fillers A formal evaluation would be needed to determine the best treatment. There are surgical and non-surgical options to correct this. We can place a chin implant, which is a quick surgical procedure. Many of my patients try to avoid surgery, however, so for those patients, we also offer non-surgical chin augmentation with injectable fillers. Fillers like Radiesse, Voluma, BellaFill, and Sculptra are injected into the area to improve the overall appearance of the lower face and balance the jaw and lip harmony. We use cannula injections to meticulously contour and project the chin, soften the chin along the jawline, and improve the chin crease. Implants are a great option once you are 100% positive that you are ready for permanent chin enhancement. I suggest getting a consultation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert, or aesthetic facial plastic surgeon; we have both at our practice, which is located right here in Los Angeles. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Chin implant and lip lift I recommend a chin implant first. This will balance the face laterally, give more projection and tighten the skin. I also recommend a lip lift at the same time. A lip lift does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Chin augmentation and neck liposuction/lift There is no doubt that chin augmentation with implant would be a good procedure for you. Whether neck liposuction or neck lift should accompany this procedure could be decided only on the basis of in person or teleconference consultation. Good luck.
