How Can My Chin Implant Result Be Improved?

Q: Dr. Eppley, Previous implant in chin and very unsatisfied with it with previous Dr.  My 3D T scan shows a tilted chin implant with long wings.

A: This is a classic aesthetic issue with most commonly used chin implant styles in females….they make the chin wider because they all have wings.(aka extended anatomic style) These are really male chin implants because males can tolerate and often want a wider chin…most femake do not. This is the result of only considering preop the side view and not the frontal view ot the patient’s gender.

What you need is a specific V-shaped chin implant of same horizontal projection but without wings. In other words an implant shape that is more compatible for a female face.
