In cases that only require a small horizontal projection, chin implants and a sliding genioplasty provide similar results. Both procedures provide permanent results and age the same.

20 is not too young for a chin implant. A chin implant can last a lifetime. It is easy to perform and can be changed out if necessary. It is done through an intra-oral approach so there is no visible scar.

I suggest you focus on finding the right provider, which tends to be the most important variable
