20 years old- do I need chin implant or sliding genioplasty to get a chin in line with my lips? (photo)

Inventive954973Apr 20, 2022
Im 20 years old and my bite is normal I have a weak chin which i believe would need at 10mm chin implant at least to get inline with the lips. Am i wrong with the size ?
