Would I be suitable for a sliding genioplasty? (Photo)

Question

38 year old male, previously had lower jaw advancement surgery in 2015 and my bite is good. Would a sliding genioplasty provide me with a defined jawline? I feel that my chin is still very recessed Thanks

It appears that you would benefit from a sliding genioplasty or a chin implant. Either would work in your case as your chin is recessive in the horizontal dimension.

You have a reasonably normal chin projection however the photos may not truly reflect the concern due to the angulation. Depending what you are looking for you could go with a temporary reversible solution with fillers to augment the chin. If you were then happy with this you could move to an advancement genioplasty or chin implant depending on your choices and the amount of advancement you need. The jaw advancement surgery will certainly have improved the chin projection and it would need a decision on what more you want from your chin projection.
