Would a sliding genioplasty improve both chin and neck? (Photos)

October 12, 2016
Asked By:scarletlamp in Brooklyn, NY

I have an underdeveloped jaw and weak chin, which the orthodontic practices of the 1980s didn’t help. Now at 46, the skin is loosening under my chin. I want to know if/how much a sliding genioplasty would improve the skin laxity as well as my profile. Also, since my face and neck are already rather long/thin, would the chin need both horizontal and vertical movement for an ideal result?
