Would genioplasty make my side profile more balanced? (Photos)

19F, the lower half of my face looks recessed to me and I’m not quite sure which part of my jaw is making it appear that way. I’ve seen some of the results from genioplasty on here which have the results I’m looking for. I’m wondering if this or any similar procedure would balance my underdeveloped chin/jaw. Thanks in advance.

Reducing the size of the jaw and improving the shape is a very common procedure here at my practice. I literally just finished doing that on another person. The jaw shaping is done through the inside of the mouth and can balance the face. Watch our various videos to learn more.

After a genioplasty, the bone takes about 6 weeks to heal. After that, if you prefer to remove the hardware, you can. It is however another procedure to remove them which can create more scar tissue. The bone will heal in the gap and look and feel normal. The only way to know if you had a...

That being said, your doctor should listen to your concerns and remove the hardware if that is what you want. After 6...

I almost always recommend a genioplasty over chin implants to patients. Implants tend to be bulky and are limited to shaping. With a genioplasty, we can essentially move your chin into any position you desire, and contour the bone to refine the shape if needed. This procedure is a more permanent...
