Would my side profile benefit from a sliding genioplasty? (photos)

August 15, 2023
Asked By:obov

I am looking for a treatment to improve my side profile. I think my jaw is kind of short and lack projection. Previously I have consulted with physicians and they have confirmed that my bite is perfect, which makes any jaw surgery unreasonable. The option I was offered is sliding genioplasty. I was wondering if this advancement would be reasonable. Thank you.
