Question:
Does your office have digital imaging capabilities? I would like a chin implant but do not know what shape I want.
Answer:
I use computer imaging and morphing software for most of my facial consultations. Chin augmentation is one of the better procedures used with the morphing software as the changes to your face on front and profile views are well demonstrated. I tend to use an extended chin implant as I feel that chin augmentation requires not only improvement of the projection of the chin, but, also refinement of the jaw line. The size that I use for chin implantation is determined at the preoperative consultation and also in the operating room with the use of sizers.
