Dear Dutchlou,Thank you for your pictures. I agree that your four head contour isn't perfect. There are custom-made in plastic can be placed but I would not recommend it. What I may recommend is the improvement of your profile. It looks like that you could benefit from an orthodontic evaluation/braces and jaw surgery.

How you heal after sliding genioplasty depends more on your individual health than your age. Someone in their 20's but smokes, has diabetes, on steroids etc. will heal worse than a healthy 60 year old. Age is just a number!
Chin ptosis (witch's chin) is very uncommon whereby the chin droops below the horizontal line and becomes worse while smiling. It can be corrected through an incision under the chin under local or light general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure with minimal recovery.
It appears you did have a reasonable outcome from your genioplasty. An 8mm genioplasty advancement is a fairly large advancement(around 10mm typically being the maximum for an osseous genio adv). I am guessing you did not have an isolated small chin, you likely were retrognathic and your...
