Can I Switch Out My Vertical Lengthening Chin Implant for a Square Chin Implant?
Q: Dr. Eppley, I have gotten a Vertical chin implant and was satisfied with the horizontal projection but the 45 degree angle vertical projection , I tried to like it but feel like I did not need the extra vertical or 45 degree angle look. My question is, if I switch the implant to a Terino square chin implant, will I lose the vertical height and 45 degree projection length and have almost the same horizontal length projection of the chin implant.
A: With the chin pad stretched out at 45 degrees I would be aware that switching to a pure horizontal projecting chin implant with the same horizontal projection may leave some loose tissue vertically. Whether that is significant can only be known by doing it.
