I'm scheduled for a sliding genioplasty in May, but I'm afraid the genioplasty alone will not give me the jawline I desire. I want to avoid going through two seperate surgeries for obvious reasons, so I'm reconsidering my surgeon. He doesn't do implants. I don't want a significantly wider jaw, I want more definition from the side. Do you think I'm a good candidate for jaw implants or will it make me look freakish? Thanks in advance for your answers

Answer: Chin implants Hello! I personally think you would benefit from a chin implant over sliding genioplasty, quick and easy to do and if you don't like it, it can be removed. For the angle I would recommend you consider fillers such as Juvederm or Voluma to sculpt the contour you seek. Then you will be able to determine if it suits you, and HA fillers can be easily removed with injectable hyaluronidase if you don't like the look. An experienced facial plastic surgeon can help guide you through these procedures. Good luck!
