My jaw and chin are both very short and small. I have noticed for a number of years that I have prejowls. I am 33, 5'6" and about 130lbs. I should not have jowls due to aging at this time. I had my buccal pads removed 8 years ago. Will these prejowls be remedied by either a chin implant or a sliding genioplasty? I am trying to decide which approach I want to take. And which procedure will help eliminate these prejowls while adding vertical length to my chin/jaw. Thank you!
