Sliding genioplasty before or after facelift?

There is no reason why a sliding genioplasty can not be done at the time of a facelift. It is no different than doing a chin implant with a facelift. If one can not do the two together the order (before or after the facelift) does not matter.

This is a very common question among patients. If possible, I prefer to do both procedures together in order for them to compliment each other and provide one surgery and healing time for the patient. If it is not possible to do at the same time, the genioplasty before the facelift will provide necessary bony structure to help support the lower face and neck.
