No functional problems, would I be a good candidate for a sliding genioplasty? (Photo)

You are a candidate for a genioplasty. You are correct in that jaw surgery would be too much without any functional issues. A genioplasty would get you the results you are looking for. Your chin is a bit short and recessed. By moving it forward and down, it would bring balance to your profile while elongating your jawline. This would create a more "v" shape in your face while tightening the skin around your jawline and under the chin. We offer in-person or virtual consultations if you would like to discuss options further!

It appears that both sliding genioplasty and chin implant would be equally suited to correct your chin deficiency. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with expertise in both procedures is recommended. Good luck.

Since you have no functional problems with your teeth, you are a candidate for a chin implant, which can be placed under local anesthesia as an outpatient procedure which takes about 30 minutes. In our practice, we placed them through a small incision underneath the chin to augment the chin forward for better facial balance, and proportions.
