Hi. I noticed that I have a recessed chin and it has made me self conscious about my side profile. Additionally, one side of my face has a significantly more defined jawline than the other, thus highlighting my recessed chin on my weak side. Would I benefit more from sliding genioplasty or a chin implant?

Answer: Would I benefit more from a sliding genioplasty or a chin implant? A sliding Genioplasty is usually performed for patients who have dental occlusion issues. A sliding genioplasty is performed under general anesthesia by an oral surgeon in a hospital setting with an overnight hospital stay. It is more invasive. A chin implant procedure is performed under local anesthesia which takes approximately 30 minutes and cosmetically augments the chin forward. A chin implant will not help with any dentition issues. Chin implants are manufactured in a large variety of sizes and shapes, and can be custom carved according to the patient's unique anatomy. In our practice, we use solid silicone Implantech anatomical chin implants for the last 25 years. Digital computer imaging would be helpful to understand what H&M plant can accomplish. For more information about chin implants, many before-and-after examples, and diagrams of the implants themselves, please see the link and the video below

Answer: Would I benefit more from a sliding genioplasty or a chin implant? Hi, I have performed many facial shaping procedures using dermal fillers, facial implants (cheek, chin), liposuction and/or facelifts for over 30 years. Following my beauty principles, men look chiseled and handsome with angularity in the cheeks, chin and mandibular angles. The attached photos show cheeks that are flat in the front, a chin that is weak along with weak mandibular angles. You may want to create facial angularity with these procedures. *Augmentation of the Cheeks with cheek implants or a dermal filler. *Chin Augmentation with a chin implant which adds projection to the chin creating harmony and balance to the lower face. I perform chin implant surgery in 30 minutes or less, often using a local anesthetic alone. In my opinion, you are a good candidate for chin implant surgery. * Jaw Line Augmentation of the mandibular angles using a dermal filler (jaw implants have too many unwanted side effects IMHO) to add volume, angularity and flare to the jaw line. Hope this helps.
