I am a female who had a double jaw surgery with a genioplasty. My jaw is perfect now. My chin is what I’m not happy about. I was told a KLS chin plate was used. My only concern was my jaw, but I was told my chin was also shifted to the left and my nose too. I agreed to have my chin fixed along with my jaw. My jaw is now perfect, but my chin isn’t. Can I get it fixed?

For chin augmentation assessments, we need quality pictures, especially profile pictures.
From the one profile picture you included it looks like your mandible is significantly under developed.
You don’t have an abnormal fat distribution.
The issue is completely related to skeletal structure.

Facial aesthetics, especially when assessed in young people is completely determined by facial skeletal structure.
It is facial skeletal structure that gives each unique person, their unique facial appearance, including the ability for computers to recognize us.
This is true whether the outcome...
Most likely the implant would need to be removed in order to convert to a sliding genioplasty.
Alternatively, your implant could be revised.
