Can I get a sliding genioplasty and all 4 wisdom teeth removed at the same time ?

champstar2727May 16, 2017
I am scheduled to have a sliding genioplasty and my 4 wisdom teeth removed at the same time. I know my doctor (maxillofacial surgeon) thinks it is alright. I want to know what other doctors think. My thoughts are, since I am getting a genioplasty, it should be hard for me to open my mouth to get to my wisdom teeth for cleaning or inspection. Would I even need to clean or inspect the back of my mouth once the wisdom teeth are removed? Have you done both procedures at the same time before?

You have lower lip incompetence and a mentalis muscle strain which are classic indications for a sliding genioplasty chin advancement procedure. Your chin is both horizontally short and vertically long. A sliding genioplasty brings the chin forward while vertically shortening it which you need.
