How to improve bottom 3rd of face? Would a genioplasty advance my receding chin despite deep labial fold?

June 3, 2023
Asked By:titan1657

I don't understand why my side profile looks like this. It seems I have loose skin under my neck, specifically on my left side profile more than my right. Why is this happening? Im 150 pounds 5'10 so I know it's not my weight. And why is it more apparent on my left side? Do I have a receding chin? I don't want to have an implant, but I was considering a genioplasty. I want to understand my side profile. I really would appreciate professional advice as I am very sad and lost on what to do.

Afraid I lost projection on my chin, can sliding genioplasty relapse?
Pranav Jambula, MBBS, MS, MCh says:

Good Morning Enthusiastic150926,I hope this message finds you well. A genioplasty surgery usually shows non relapsing results in the long term as the titanium plates are non resorbable, as well as the fact that the bones are now fractured into a new position and hence grow in that fashion moving...

Zoran Potparic, MD says:

It is very difficult to decide whether chin augmentation by means of implant or genioplasty, would make a change you want. Only on the basis of in person evaluation, discussion about your goals and 3D simulation, appropriate plan of treatment can be created. Good luck.
