Should I get a sliding genioplasty revision? Would these results be realistic? (Photo)

I had a chin implant removal + sliding genioplasty done a little over 6 months ago. My main goal was to reduce my chin's vertical height, but I still feel things look long and bulky. I'm wondering if I should seek a revision and if something similar to the right is realistically achievable?

Providing that you do not have significant issues with the bite both genioplasty and chin augmentation with implant are good options. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon expert in chin augmentation will help. Good luck.

I advise a CT to determine the required length and horizontal projection. There are certain normal distances that can be used to help decide the amount of length. For example, the distance from the inferior most aspect of your chin to the tip of your lower incisors should be 42-44 mm. Any amount...

I recommend jaw surgery when there is a functional deformity (difficulty eating/chewing food). Otherwise, a sliding genioplasty or chin implant. With small horizontal movements, a chin implant is easiest.

We can go inside your mouth and reduce the chin/jaw area bone and soft tissue. This should heal such that you have a more balanced appearance. Watch our videos to learn more. Procedure takes about 1 hour.
