Will sliding Genioplasty be enough for me or do I need double jaw surgery? (photos)

Jaw surgery is not recommended for those who are just seeking aesthetic changes. It is a large surgery, that will also affect your bite, which is why you will need to be followed by an orthodontist. If there is also no medical reason for it, it would not be covered by insurance. I would recommend a genioplasty to bring your chin forward and down, adding prominence and length to your face, as well as your jawline. This would help create more facial balance. Jawline liposcultping is also something you could consider, which would add more definition to the jawline, although a genioplasty may get you the results you are looking for.

If you have no functional concerns (no eating problems) then an advancement and lengthening genioplasty is the best treatment. This surgery is low risk for permanent numbness as compared to double jaw surgery. The surgery can be performed in the office with intravenous anesthesia and most young patients return to work in 3-5 days. There is no change in the bite or your ability to eat and chew.

You have a horizontal and vertically deficiency chin with a flat mandibular plane angle. A bo y genioplasty would be a good procedure for you as your chin needs to come forward and down, a 45 degree chin augmentation effect. The next step would be to have computer imaging done so you can how this type of chin change may look on you.
