Advice on vertical chin height enhancement with minimal horizontal advancement?

Asked By:Cheerful633447 in Coffeyville, Kansas

I'm seeking advice on methods for increasing chin height without much horizontal advancement. Are custom chin implants or the miniwing osteotomy suitable options for this?

Sliding genioplasty? Jaw surgery? (Photo)
Michael P. Morrissette, DDS, FACS says:

You have a history of a deep bite and there is evidence of a recessive chin in your photos so you are a candidate for a sliding genioplasty. Since the amount of chin recession is not severe, a chin implant is a possibility as well. Either will improve your overall facial balance.

I had a sliding genioplasty, maximum projection 10mm, would like further projection. Can I get a 2nd SG for further projection?
Michael P. Morrissette, DDS, FACS says:

You may be a candidate for a second sliding genioplasty. The plates and screws are removed and a second genioplasty is performed and further advancement can be achieved. Jaw surgery is not recommended since you have a normal bite.
