Jaw and chin concerns - Would Genioplasty solve my problem? (Photos)

Hello! I have had issues with my jaw and chin for a while and have gotten to the point where I feel I need to get surgery to feel happy with my looks. I have previously gotten some fat transfer from under my chin to my chin, but it was definitely not enough. My jaw looks like it ends BELOW my chin pouch and it causes wrinkling in my chin even I close my mouth, relaxed. It also makes my profiles look really bad and my face long. I don't necessarily have any breathing problems (maybe I mouth breathe a lot) nor sleep problems, so this would be primarily aesthetic. I don't want a super strenuous surgery and I've heard sliding genioplastys are a little better in terms of recovery. I would love any advice!

When planning chin surgery, balancing aesthetic desires, soft, feminine, natural proportions, with underlying functional considerations (bite alignment and structural jaw asymmetry) requires a clear understanding of what a sliding genioplasty can, and cannot, achieve. Below is an analytical...

Thank you for your question, having four independent specialists, especially three oral and maxillofacial surgeons who specialize in facial skeleton mechanics, all arrive at the exact same recommendation (5mm horizontal sliding genioplasty) is a right sign. Unanimity across four doctors is rare...

It is very difficult to give advise about facial harmony without actually seeing the entire face, profiles, etc. based on this photo you seem to have actually small chin; chin augmentation should be discussed with a board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck.

Hello, a genioplasty could give you some more projection and likely make your profile look more harmonious. Another potential option would a chin implant, however it takes the right candidate as an implant is less predictable than your own chin segment secured with hardware. Let us know if you'd...

Hello, it is hard to tell with just profile pictures. You'd have to have your bite evaluated by an orthodontist, get some x-rays, and also consult a cranio-maxillofacial surgeon. Genioplasty is a great option but it is a purely cosmetic procedure. We would be happy to see you for a virtual...
