Would a genioplasty be appropriate for me? (photos)

You do appear to be a candidate for jaw surgery and that may give you the best aesthetic results as well. However if you are just considering cosmetic procedures, you could benefit from a genioplasty. Your chin is quite recessed and bringing it forward would help to bring more balance to your profile. It will also elongate your jawline and tighten the skin under your chin. We are happy to discuss options further with an in-person or virtual consultation!

You have a very high growth pattern/steep lower jawline. This results in a vertical growth rather than a lower jaw with a 'L' type square appearance. A genioplasty to advance and reduce the height is a good plan. The 'step' occurs when you change the 'direction' of the lower jawline from a high angle to a 'low' angle. One can 'trim' the junction and one can 'cover up' the transition point; and one can also add augmentation to the 'angle/ramus' of the jaw to 'level' the jawline.
