Chin implant or sliding genioplasty? (Photo)

October 11, 2015
Asked By:person321 in New York, NY

My goal is to increase chin width, projection, and vertical height and have it look natural. I have a short, recessed, pointed chin with a deep mentolabial fold. I worry that a chin implant will deepen the mentolabial fold and not provide any vertical length. Could a sliding genioplasty also change the shape of the chin to be wider as well improving the height and projection? I'm not sure which option would better at achieving my goals listed above.
