A woman in her late 60’s who did not want a face lift but wished to have a simpler surgery that would still improve her chin balance. She is shown 3 months after the placement of a medium Flowers Mandibular glove implant through a submental incision. Even though she did not have a facelift, her neck is also improved by treating her weak chin. A quick test to see if a chin implant will be helpful is to draw a line connecting the upper and lower lips. The chin should come out close to this line (“Riedel’s line”). As in everything is plastic surgery it is always better to under correct it slightly so that it does not look too prominent.
