I'm a 30-year-old Southeast Asian male. I got a chin implant back in 2019 to address a weak chin and some imbalance in my facial profile. While it helped at first, I noticed the results havent held up over time. I still have visible jowls, and my lower face remains quite recessed compared to the rest of my features. Recently, my orthodontist did a 3D scan and mentioned that the implant I have is the smallest hes ever seen in his career - which makes me wonder if it was ever really adequate for my facial structure in the first place. Im now exploring whether jaw surgery is my only option, or if there are other procedures that could improve the balance and projection of my lower face, like a bigger chin implant. Are there any treatments that might realistically help in my case? Or is jaw surgery the only long-term solution for skeletal issues like this?
My jawline is ok up until my chin - which is either too short or has too much fat underneath. Whenever I have a picture taken from the side (and Im not posing like in the last picture), especially from a lower angle, my jawline sags downward. I was wondering if chin lipo or chin implant/genioplasty would be a better fix for my issue. Any advice would be much appreciated! I also have badddd TMJ if thats relevant. Ive considered masseter Botox but heard it could give me jowls - could that help too?
Hi! Ive had chin filler 2x over the past 4 years but now I think Im ready to take the leap and get a chin implant. Do you think Id benefit from both chin implant and chin lipo? I have some fat under the chin but I cant tell if its tissue. I also currently weight 118 lbs, 55 so I cant lose any more weight. Thanks in advance for the advice
hi, i want to do something about my weak/double chin (which is present even at and below my ideal weight). i hear that the main solution when a small chin is contributing to the double chin is to get a chin implant. however my nose is quite small so im not sure if that would unbalance my face (im happy with my nose). based on my pictures, would a chin implant be too much and/or would fat removal be enough? (im really hoping fat removal would be enough as it seems like it would be weird having a foreign object in my face). or is there anything i havent thought of? (as long as it doesnt require altering anything outside the chin/lips area as i like the rest of my face)
4 weeks ago,i had a surgery with medpor chin implant (submental).One week later,under the lips, it became reddish after the bath and sometimes itchy ( wings and bottom side is normal). My scar looks normal.No pus, swelling,pain, warmth.I took cipro for one week just for protection ( My Doc. said).And still same.its not clearly visible on photos.Is this infection or just skin problem?And if i wanna go for sliding genioplasty years later, removal and sliding can be in one surgery?
I see many doctors on social media recommending mostly the anatomical or extended anatomical chin implant. My doctor has recommended a chin implant without wings. Specially, Hanson Style 5 (concave back button chin) In general, what kind of look will an implant without the tapered sides give? Will it help create more of a tapered look (versus a wider look)?
I had a chin implant placed in the mouth about a year ago, and its caused my lower lip to be crooked slightly to the right accompanied by slight numbness or a stiff feeling on the same lower right side. Left is completely fine. I can force my muscles to have it appear normal, but when im completed relaxed it is noticeable. Will removing or replacing it fix the problem?
