Is the following morph possible with a sliding genioplasty, or is jaw surgery needed? (Photo)

Hello sj594,Thanks for your question.With such mild malocclusion, a BSSO for the chin alone is probably not necessary.  I doubt your surgeon wants to risk such a large operation if the occlusion could be affected in other ways.  A sliding genioplasty can be quite successful in this situation.  Views of the lateral cephalograms would be helpful in seeing the underlying bony relationships.My opinion is that jaw surgery would be overkill.Good luck,Dr. Shah

yes, feasible, especially if you have a Class I occlusion. You are correct in the use of some material on the 'ledge' IF the tissue 'thickness' is minimal; in order to avoid a deepened labiomental fold
