Hey, Im bill and I had a sliding genioplasty in 2007, but honestly Im very pleased with the results, the doc advanced my chin 1 cm. The thing is that genio may give you a harder look since it makes your chin stronger, so maybe he shouldve advanced it less. It doesnt seem like the surgeon lengthened your face though. Anyway, the good thing is your profile now is well balanced, but since the op brought your lower face forward, what used to be less noticeable is now actually there to see, at the front, not at the back anymore. I like the balance now, its true your before face was kinda sweeter and now its a little harder,but you are actually a bit older too, its also true short hair hightens your features, maybe you should try it longer, but as you said, give it time to settle in your mind, it took me a while too, and if lets say in 2 years you still dont like it, the best option would be a reverse genio...your upper teeth are fine, forget that, they are the way that rules in odontology claim they must be.
On the other hand, genio may also change a pointy chin into a more square one by sanding the bone a little, thats what they did to me.
Forget about face lift, lip lift, lip fillers, less is more!
By the way, probably the screws they used are the ones that disolve after some time.
You could see a cosmetic or reconstructive surgeon, but Id rather go with a maxillofacial surgeon (they are, first of all, odontologists...)bc they specialize only in that. I myself went for a craniofacial surgeon.
Cheers and good luck!
Bill
