Am I a good genioplasty candidate?

Question

I am not sure if my bite is bad enough to warrant jaw surgery or if I can simply get a genioplasty to correct my profile. I am a 36 year old female.

I recommend jaw surgery when there is a functional deformity (difficulty eating/chewing food). Otherwise, a sliding genioplasty or chin implant. With small horizontal movements, a chin implant is easiest.
