How Much Chin Height Can An Implant Create?
Q: Dr. Eppley, What is the tallest vertical chin implant that can be implanted? I don’t need much or any forward projection, but I do need a lot vertically. Dr. Eppley looked at my scans, but the procedure scared me – very tall genioplasty… I’d rather consider the tallest vertical implant instead.
A: The most vertical chin lengthening that can be done with an implant in most patients is 5 to 7 mms due to restrictions of the tightness of the soft tissue chin pad.
