Can I get a sliding genioplasty after having permanent chin filler injected?

Asked By:amadden46 in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

A few years ago I had permanent chin filler injected (Aquamid) I haven't had any issues with it. I was diagnosed with mild to moderate sleep apnea, I now want to have double jaw surgery with a sliding genioplasty to fix this as I cant tolerate the CPAP and I feel terrible all the time. From my research Aquamid cannot be removed, can I still get a sliding genioplasty, like can they cut below the filler on the bone? Or am I no longer a candidate for this procedure. Thanks
