What the clinician needs to assess
Candidates need an examination of facial structure, oral health, general health and goals. Disclose previous implants, facial trauma and dental or jaw treatment. If bite alignment is part of the concern, ask whether an appropriate dental or maxillofacial assessment is needed before cosmetic planning.

Chin implant: Adds contour with a device; size, position and implant-specific risks need discussion.
Bone surgery: Changes the bony chin and may address dimensions an implant does not; requires a separate explanation of scope and risks.
Discuss risk before consent
Risks include bleeding, infection, scarring, asymmetry and altered sensation around the chin or lower lip. Implants may move or develop surrounding scar problems, and revision may be needed. The risks of bone work should be explained separately from those of implant placement.
Agree the follow-up plan
Dressings or support may be used after surgery. Follow procedure-specific instructions about oral care, food texture, pressure on the chin and exercise. Ask how swelling and changes in lower-lip sensation will be monitored and when the surgeon will assess the developing contour. Travel timing requires individual clearance.
