Is It Possible to Have a Chin Advancement and a Chin Implant Together? I heard that you can't have a chin advancement and silicon implant at the same time because the silicon gets in and infects the exposed bone where it has been cut. is this true?

A: Sliding genioplasty plus augmentation

If you are advancing the chin by a sliding genioplasty, you are trying to augment the profile without prosthetic materials. So it doesn't make sense to me to add a silicone chin implant. If you need to add more projection, what I have always seen done is a cranial bone graft added to the genioplasty. That way it is all your own tissue.

Opinion On How I Can Enhane My Profile? I Have A Thin Jaw and Chin. how to enhance my profile? i have long fave and very thin jaw. i would want a fuller face. thank you

A: Face Enhancement

You could benefit from facial implants to balance your face out. You do have a very thin jaw and I feel with some kind of jaw augmentation would help you feel more confident with the way you look.

Sliding Genioplasty or Jaw+genio Surgery? Costs As Well. (photo) I currently have braces and thanks to some pictures from the orthodontist... really hate my profile and it's "mouse" appearance. My ortho referred me to an oral surgeon, suggesting a sliding genioplasty should be all I need due to my overbite being only slight. Is that all I'd need? How much does a sliding genio cost in the states (Seattle area)? I don't believe I'm a good candidate for an implant nor do I like hearing about the bone loss that can occur. Help is appreciated.

A: Sliding genioplasty in WA

Please contact Dr. Michael Whelan in Lynwood WA (Sound Surgery). He is the very best, a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, Craniofacial surgeon, MD, Dentist and Oral Surgeon. He wears all the hats to help you sort this out and is the best surgeon for this out there!
