Would a sliding genioplasty & chin liposuction fix weak & double chin? (Photo)

Question

I’m happy with my profile view but not side profile. I have a weak chin and a double chin (also no jawline). Would a sliding genioplasty and chin liposuction fix this? One of my biggest concerns is the possibility of a sliding genioplasty ruining my profile view, I’ve seen photos of gone wrong s.g.

Thank you for submitting your questions and photos.  Based on the photo submitted, you are probably a great candidate for a genioplasty.  There are several profile options to choose.  You’ll need to make sure your plastic surgeon is board certified and experienced in this procedure so that she/he chooses the right fit for you.  In order to further define your jawline, a small amount of liposuction to the neck would be a great options.  I encourage you to seek out a board certified plastic surgeon to go over these options in more detail.  Good luck and thanks again for reaching out!

I appreciate you, including your picture and in my opinion sliding genioplasty would be an excellent choice to enhance your profile. I don't think you would need submental vital suction in addition.  Of course, a consultation would be necessary to make sure that you do not have any other concerns that need to be discussed such as your jaw position, that would also influence your profile.. In my 20 years plus of experience with genioplasty. It is a procedure that has had a significant positive impact in my patients lives.
Best wishes!

Respectfully,

You may potentially be a jaw surgery candidate but that is a much larger surgery and we would need more information. If you are just looking for cosmetic procedures, you could definitely benefit from a genioplasty. Bringing your chin forward and slightly down would create definition and bring balance to your profile. A genioplasty will also elongate your jawline, creating more contour. You may consider jawline or submental lipo as well, although the genioplasty may fix that issue by itself. Another procedure to consider would be buccal fat removal. This would reduce some of the fullness in your lower cheeks, creating a little more contour as well. Our office offers in-person or virtual consultations and we would be happy to discuss options further!

The photo shows that you gave a recessed chin. An augmentation procedure such as a sliding genioplasty or chin implant would improve the lower facial balance. Jawline and submental liposuction would also help provide a well defined jawline.

It is likely this can be greatly improved right in the office. We could do liposuction and a chin implant, all through the inside of your mouth. This should help your appearance, profile view, and double chin.
