I am 47yrs interested in sliding genioplasty to move my chin forward and fat removal from around the area. I don't have straight teeth but am starting with Invisalign treatment shortly. I was told it would take 18 months to complete as well. when I project my chin forward my whole jaw region looks better as my chin looks recessed and makes me look older as well. can I get it done now even if my teeth are crooked? I uploaded pics of my chin area and ones showing when I project forward.

Answer: Sliding Genioplasty The condition of your teeth should not have an impact on having a sliding genioplasty. It would be really helpful to have better pictures to see if this is a good procedure for you. This needs to include a sideways to view showing I complete profile including your face. At least up to and including your nose. You can block off the eyes to maintain anonymity.Better yet have a few in person consultations with board-certified plastic surgeon who have experience with this procedure. Alternatively you can talk to oral surgeons who do this on a regular basis.you’re certainly not old but Liposuction should be done with greater caution in people who are beginning to show slight skin laxity in this area.Fat removal tends to not hurt the skin in young people but can ass people get into their 50s. Obviously if the Liposuction is done poorly the results will suffer.Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
