Chin implants are commonly used to bring balance to the facial structure and give a proper proportion to the face by lifting the chin. Here is how to determine if a chin implant is right for you.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Consider chin implant surgery if you feel that your chin isn't in proportion with the rest of your face. A weak chin can also make a normal nose appear abnormally big and an already prominent nose can seem even larger. On the flip side, a chin that is overly large can make a nose look too or throw the face off balance. Options include injecting a temporary soft tissue augmentation filler or implanting a silicone or Porex chin implant.

  2. Step 2

    Tell your surgeon about your medical history.

  3. Step 3

    Note that you must be emotionally and physically stable to undergo the surgery. You must not have any major diseases or should not be prone to depression. Remember, patients take time to recuperate mentally and physically from this surgery.

  4. Step 4

    Visit blogs and Web sites written by people who have undergone chin implant surgery to gain insight into their experiences.

  5. Step 5

    What do you expect to gain from this surgery? An ideal candidate must have realistic expectations and realize that the surgery might not always provide the desired results.

  6. Step 6

    Gather all information about the surgery, potential complications and success rates before making your final decision.
