Should I go for Sliding genioplasty or just a chin implant? I had worn braces and they were taken off 5 years ago. I have been feeling really bad with my weak chin, and i really want to have a nice jawline, any advice would be much appreciated.
Answer: Receding chin, weak chin, any solutions? Thank you for your question and images. A personal consultation would be best to discuss your options in detail but given your age I prefer a bony (sliding) genioplasty. There are a number of benefits of a sliding genioplasty over a implant particularly in regards to longevity and post operative issues. A bony genioplasty also has the advantage of lengthening the neck line and tightening the muscles under the chin which a implant genioplasty can not deliver. A sliding genioplasty can also be used to lengthen the lower third of your face which I suspect from your images is shortened. I do agree though that submental liposuction would also be a nice addition. Good luck.RegardsDr Guy Watts

Answer: genioplasty versus chin implant A sliding genioplasty is performed under general anesthesia as an inpatient procedure a hospital setting. A chin implant can be inserted under local anesthesia as an outpatient procedure which takes approximately 30 minutes. Chin implants are manufactured in a variety of sizes and shapes, and are placed through a submental approach. Liposuction the neck can be performed at same time if the patient so desires.

Answer: Chin Implant Your bite seems normal.Fat in the submental area, and needs liposuction.whether a sliding genioplasty is feasible needs an x-ray to see the apices of the teeth and how much bone is available for sliding geioplasty. You may need vertical height increase and horizontal increase.

Answer: Receding chin, weak chin, any solutions? Hi, based upon the attached photos the chin is very weak. I have performed many chin augmentations, with a chin implant, for over 30 years and find the procedure to be very safe, reliable and highly effective. Chin impact surgery is far less invasive than a sliding genioplasty. Hope this helps.
