Why Did My Surgeon Pick A Unisex Chin Implant?

Q: Dr. Eppley, My current chin implant is a size medium, and does have wings. My main concern when I got it was to not look jowly, and for a more even look.. it is rounded- unisex, which I’m not sure why he picked medium or unisex?? I included pictures in the inquiry, but here are more.

A:He picked it because he was not thinking of any of those issues. Some surgeons tend to use one implant style for all patients. You are assuming most surgeons are artists….that is a generous assumption. Most are technicians robotically doing the same style implant for everyone. Hopefully what the patient needs is what the surgeon likes or knows how to do.
