LAM FACIAL PLASTICS

Dr Lam:

I'm a black male and dislike my facial profile angle--it's notable prognathism and protrusion does not look very attractive. I do have a slightly weak chin, but the real problem is the angle of the face itself.

I want my profile to look more like a Caucasian male--with a pronounced chin and "crescent" angle to the lower profile.

Do you think a chin implant would solve the problem, making the prognathism less pronounced, or would a bony setback procedure be a better alternative?

very hard to give you an answer unless i meet with you. sometimes a chin implant is all you need. sometimes, you need to have oro-maxillo-facial surgery (which I don't perform). the question that you pose should only be answered after an in-person consultation and evaluation.
best,
sml
