I want to eventually get a sliding genioplasty, chin liposuction, and rhinoplasty. I think I want to prioritize rhinoplasty and chin lipo and would be able to get them done at the same time, however I'd like a different doctor to perform my genioplasty. I know chin lipo and chin augmentation are often performed together, but would there be any drawbacks to doing lipo before genioplasty? I provided a photo of my side profile.

Answer: You can but it will not improve your results A sliding genioplasty works well, but I am not sure you need it. I use them for patients with severe retrognathia. For most people, however, I believe silicone implants are a better option (and I am a jaw surgeon). Reason being is pain, swelling, and recovery is significantly better, and the surgery is easily paired with the surgeries you would already like to have.

Answer: Can I get Chin Liposuction and genioplasty at the same time From the one limited side photograph, there's very little fat in the neck, so liposuction would not be required. The photograph demonstrates an over-projected nose and and under projecting chin. A rhinoplasty and a chin implant can be performed simultaneously under one anesthesia with one recovery. Chin implants are much less invasive, and simply augment the chin forward for better facial balance and for portions from the side profile with respect to the nose. A sliding genioplasty is performed by an oral surgeon in a hospital setting with an overnight stay at the hospital and is much more invasive. A sliding genioplasty is usually performed when the teeth are significantly out of alignment. Digital computer imaging of your nose and chin would be helpful to understand what can be accomplished with Both procedures upon your facial features.
