Im looking for a second opinion, I sent these photos to a surgeon to ask about possibly getting facetite & morpheus8 and he recommended I get this along with a genioplasty. Seems a bit pushy about it and even if my chin is recessed would a genioplasty be necessary? I’ve asked for an implant or fillers and this surgeon says the genioplasty is required to achieve good results. I feel like I have pronounced perioral mounds and early jowling, my nose also appears large. I’m in my mid 20’s

Answer: Chin implant candidate You have a mild weak chin profile, and placement of a small chin implant can accomplish bringing your chin forward for better facial balance and proportions from the side profile. Placement of a chin implant takes approximately 30 minutes under local anesthesia as an outpatient procedure. A sliding genioplasty is performed by an oral surgeon under general anesthesia in a hospital setting with an overnight stay at the hospital, and is much more invasive. That procedure is usually performed when the teeth are significantly out of alignment. The noninvasive skin skin tightening procedures are not needed when you're in your mid 20s

Answer: Getting a proper assessment My recommendation is to have proper consultations with properly qualified providers. I suggest starting with oral surgeons or plastic surgeons with cranial facial surgery backgrounds. Consultations should be done in person and should ideally include an examination and x-rays. Simply augmenting your chin will worse in your labelemental angle. Get a thorough understanding of the complex relationship between your mandible and your maxilla including all the treatment options from the most definitive to the simplest. You can then decide for yourself how far do you want to go with this. Without addressing your dental occlusion properly simply augmenting your chin is going to have a limited result.
