One of the characteristics
of the chin in common with the nose and many other areas of change
is that the front view and the side view are separate and independent
.
The first patient shows this in
that the front view has changed very little compared to the profile.
Usually the front and side
views can be designed and planned separately and independently. But the
second patient is an exception.

Here the face was made shorter
by lifting up the chin and projecting it forward instead of down. This
can be done with her own tissue instead of an implant.
Most of those with a greater
change require a teflon or silicone implant. Each of the last two
patients had routine shaping of the chin with a soft silicone rubber.
Unlike breast implants, the solid implants have been used for about 45-50 years
with no hint of problems.
The most likely serious problem would be
infection. And we have not had a chin implant we inserted in standard
technique become infected in over 25
years.
