I really like her jaw line as it is steep but also has a nice projected chin which I would love. I would like to get an idea of what procedure I would need to give me that kind of jaw line/chin. I've heard of a sliding genioplasty and would rather do something that alters my own bone than an implant. Thanks

Answer: Sliding genioplasty versus chin implant to improve chin projection A sliding genioplasty is a rather aggressive surgery and is usually done in conjunction with surgery to reposition the entire jaw and possibly maxilla to improve occlusion. While a genioplasty can be done as a standalone procedure an implant will give you equal if not better results with faster recovery and the option to reverse it. You should also understand that a sliding genioplasty involves implants of metal plates and screws to hold the bone in place.Your first step is to obtain evaluation of your occlusion from an oral surgeon. If it is decided that your occlusion is best corrected with orthographic surgery a sliding genioplasty will make the most sense. If you choose not to have orthographic surgery then an implant is a simpler and often more effective treatment to improve the appearance of the chin.Best wishes

Answer: Chin implant versus sliding genioplasty A chin implant can be inserted for cosmetic improvement to bring the mandible forward when there is a recessive chin present. Chin implants are inserted through a sub mental approach under local anesthesia as an outpatient surgical procedure. Chin implants are composed of Silastic in a manufacturing variety of sizes and shapes. A sliding genioplasty is performed by an oral surgeon under general anesthesia as an inpatient procedure at a hospital.
