Would I be better off with a sg/ chin implant or full blown jaw surgery? I don’t have any bite problems but I feel like my jaw is kinda recessed. What would help me best to achieve a better jawline.
Answer: Chin augmentation There are a variety of techniques that can be used to augment the chin and improve your profile. A more temporary approach includes dermal fillers (e.g., Sculptra, Voluma, and Radiesse), while fat grafting, use of permanent fillers (Aquamid, Bellafill ) and facial implants would offer a more permanent solution. A sliding genioplasty is a procedure that I feel gives a rather blocky, unrefined look in a number of cases. However, in severe cases, this may be the best option. To address your concerns I would recommend having an in person consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in facial aesthetics.

Answer: Sliding Genioplasty or Chin Implant? An implant will give improvement Sliding genioplasty is an extreme surgery that I don’t recommend unless you have functional issues. To fix the cosmetic problem of a weak chin, a chin implant would give you the correction you want. You must find an expert facial plastic surgeon to help you with this. I hope this helps.

Answer: Sliding Genioplasty /chin implant or jaw surgery? Thank you for your question. Since you stated that you don’t have functional issues with your jaw, I wouldn’t recommend a sliding genioplasty, as it is a pretty serious surgery that addresses functional problems as well as cosmetic. An implant is a fairly easy, minimally invasive way to augment the projection of your chin, but there are other options as well. Facial fillers have been used with success to add volume and shape to the chin. While they require a regular injection plan, the advantage is that you can experiment with more or less volume before committing to an implant. My best advice would be to consult with a facial plastic surgeon. They can examine you and offer options to achieve the best possible results. Good luck!

Answer: Chin implant versus sliding genioplasty A sliding genioplasty is performed by an oral surgeon in a hospital setting with an overnight stay, and is much more invasive. Placement of the chin implant can be performed under local anesthesia, and takes approximately 30 minutes. Chin implants are in our practice are placed through a small incision underneath the chin. For many examples, please see the link and the video below

Answer: Chin Surgery Without a bite issue, orthognathic surgery is not indicated. With a vertically long and recessed chin some form of chin augmentation would be the best approach. Whether this should be a sliding genioplasty or chin implant can not be determined from just side view pictures and will require computer imaging from different angles to help make this decision.
