Weak chin

A weak chin makes the nose appear prominent as well as detracts from the overall facial aesthetic. Chin implants or boney advancement can significantly improve the overall facial profile.


The only difference in the images is the chin.

Occasionally, a chin is too prominent for one’s liking. A prominent chin may be too masculine for a woman, for example. After evaluation determines the problem to be prominence of bone rather than an occlusal (bite) disorder, surgical reduction of the bone can be performed to improve the contour.


MARIONETTE LINES

Creases at the border of the cheeks and chin, going from the corner of the mouth down to the jawline, are called marionette lines. These pend to progress over time, and are related to melolabial creases and jowls. Fillers may help lessen the prominence of marionette lines, but surgical facelift is a powerful and lasting method to treat this condition.
