I am self conscious of my jaw and recessed chin. At certain angles it doesnt look terrible, but when I am not posed and am going about my day it looks really recessed and I have a double chin. This bothers me. I have had braces and as far as I know my bite is aligned. Would a genioplasty be a good option to enhance my lower face and make it look more harmonious? If not, do you have other recommendations for improving my lower face?
Hello! I got genio done 2 yrs ago and I love my results but I feel the tissues on my chin look a little unnatural and I would like them to be a little higher. Is that possible? I do feel like my lower lip is smaller and lower than before. I did already go back to my surgeon and he tried to fix the issue and it looked better for a month by then went back. Does anyone have any knowledge on this? The tissues feel like they hang a little low and when I bring it up with my fingers it looks better.
Is there a way I can make my chin look the way it does in the after photo? Its one of my biggest insecurities. Ive looked into jaw surgery, but dont believe that I need it since I currently have Invisalign to correct an over and crossbite plus I struggle with TMJ which I heard jaw surgery can make worse. Will a chin reduction give me my desired results?
Hello, I am planning on getting a sliding genioplasty surgery done, but I have read several studies online noting a millimeter or two of bone resorption after the procedure. How and where does this resorption happen? And can it be prevented or minimized with a good diet?
Hello, so for a while now i've felt that either my chin is weak or the entire lower jaw. I've read a lot a about the procedure called sliding genioplasty but i'm unsure if i'm a candidate for it. For some background info i used to have a deep bite that i had corrected with orthodontics, but i am still left unsatisfied clearly, which is why i'm considering this. I also have some small speech issues but that could be unrelated.
I had a sliding genioplasty and my chin was projected 10mm. I would like further projection and I am opposed to a chin implant due to bone erosion/resorption. Considering Im quite young its just not an option, Im also opposed to frequent use of filler. If the first genioplasty doesnt preclude a second one for further projection, I think I will go with that. If not I will look into jaw surgery it is just much more expensive . I also have normal occlusion.
