What would you advise me to do to have a better profile?

Question

Hi, I’m a 23 years old healthy male looking to have a better profile. I asked surgeons and i got mixed answers that left me confused so i would like to have a clearer answer. Some advised for a double jaw surgery, some for sliding genioplasty and others suggested a chin implant. Just to be clear, i don’t have a overbite, sleep or breathing issues. What would you advise me to do to have a better profile? Thank you

Thank you for your question and photo. To increase the projection of your chin, I believe you might benefit from either a sliding genioplasty or a chin implant. I offer surgical implants in my office, which come in a wide range of shapes and sizes to fit any facial proportions. The implant can be placed using local anesthesia and recovery is about one week. Make sure you work with a very experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon to ensure the best possible result.

Of the three treatment options you mentioned all of them came to extend or give you more chin projection.

Since your dental occlusion is normal and I believe it is sliding genioplasty or chin implant should be sufficient.

There’s no right or wrong answer between the two procedures. Both have advantages and disadvantage us.

It seems to me that the sliding genioplasty is more commonly preferred by oral surgeons while plastic surgeons seem to recommend implants more commonly but those are just personal observations.
Fillers are another alternative for those opposed to surgical correction.

Pick the surgeon you feel most comfortable with and follow their recommendations.

Best,
