Will a sliding genioplasty narrow the chin?

lotr17
My chin isn't horribly recessed or anything, in fact it more or less lines up with my bottom lip...but I'd like to add some protrusion with minimal vertical height increase. In the end, I'm looking for the lower third of my face to appear more masculine. Can a sliding genioplasty add protrusion without narrowing the chin at all? I've read many stories of chin implants eroding the bone over time.
