Can a sliding genioplasty improve jawline and balance out cheekbones?

Can a sliding genioplasty give the appearance of a more defined jawline and balance out cheekbones? My jawline is very undefined and my lower face looks short. Can a sliding genioplasty lengthen and narrow my lower face as well?

The back of the lower jaw is not going to be affected by any procedure done on the front at the chin. A sliding genioplasty will only increase the projection of the chin. It requires jaw angle implants to increase the bigonial width which can be done at the same time as the sliding genioplasty.
