Can a genioplasty shorten + narrow the chin? (Photo)

April 22, 2022
Asked By:Straightforward5946 in Bells, North Carolina

I got a chin implant, but removed it due to the fact that it lengthened my already long chin and added width to my face from the front. If I do a genio, is it possible to shorten my face + keep my chin/jaw looking narrow from the front? Also - I had filler before, and it seems to have eroded some of my chin bone. Am I still a candidate for a genio, given my bone loss?

Timothy Osborn, MD says:

Which is better for me - Genioplasty surgery or Correction Jaw surgery? (photos)
Michael P. Morrissette, DDS, FACS says:

Can I have 2 surgeries a month apart?
Timothy Osborn, MD says:

At a month out, it is more about your comfort level. As long there are no complications or signs of infection after the breast surgery, and you consult with the surgeon, there is no reason why you couldn't have a genioplasty.
