Sliding genio vs. chin implant (require minimal risk, quicker downtime, less pain)?

April 25, 2018
Asked By:Lars Sorrenson in West Hollywood, California

I'm attaching profile pics and ceph scan. What's better for me in terms of long term benefits, less risk, minimally invasive, providing the best SUBTLE results? Masculinization of the face is also preferred vs. narrower/feminine. Chin implant risks and pros/cons = include bone erosion, movement, displacement, infection and having the need for a revision? Sliding genio: numbness, infection, higher downtime (a couple weeks more??), not sure if it's any more or less painful. Purely cosmetic.
