Which Chin Implant Style Is Best If I Have A Deep Labiomental Fold?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I am a male looking into a chin augmentation as my chin is recessed upon researching the implantech website, I had some follow-up questions. If my primary goal is to increase lateral projection, and I have a deep mental crease: what implant would be most suitable for me, the flowers mandibular glove, the extended anatomical, or the Terino 1?

They all seem like great options, just unsure which would be best.

A: Since you mentioned lateral (horizontal chin augmentation along with a deep labiomental crease my assumption\ is that you may believe that one of the three chin implants styles may not magnify the depth of the labiomental fold. The reality is any form of chin augmentation os going to do exactly that regardless of chin implant style. It cannot be avoided as the labiomental fold is a fixed anatomic point that lies above the part of the chin that is affected by implant placement.
