How to improve my facial proportions? Considering genioplasty or chin implant

Question

Hi, as the title says, i would like to improve the proportions on my face. I am not sure what is the right procedure here. Is it genioplasty/chin implant? I would like to improve the height of my chin, to make it longer. I also have a slight overbite, so maybe the dental braces would help? Since this would be my first procedure i don't know nothing about those. (For example difference between genioplasty and chin implant and which one of those can make my chin longer). Thanks

Your facial skeletal structure is fairly complex and it’s worthwhile getting a full comprehensive evaluation. I don’t think an implant or sliding genioplasty will be sufficient.

Your chin already has substantial forward projection with a deep labial mental angle.  At the same time you must likely have a significant overbite based on how your upper lip has more forward projection than the lower lip.

For this type of work you’re probably better off consulting with oral surgeons or plastic surgeons who have done craniofacial fellowship training.

It may be worthwhile seeking a few consultations. Best,
