chin implant

A chin implant can create the male aesthetic norm for chin position which is a chin point that touches a tangent line between the mid nasal bridge and the edge of the upper lip. For a woman the chin point looks more feminine if it is about 5mm behind this tangent line. Additionally the male chin has a squared contour while the feminine contour is more rounded. The vertical length from the nose-upper lip junction to the chin point should be equal to the distance between the nose-upper lip junction and the upper edge of the eyebrow.

 

In this case a medpor chin implant was placed via an incision inside the mouth. Along with neck liposuction this gave the desired masculine profile. A feminine profile can be achieved by placing a rounded chin implant instead of the squared chin implant.
