I have a recessed chin and open bite malocclusion. Should I get a chin implant or a sliding genioplasty to help my appearance?

Does a sliding genioplasty require braces or jaw wired shut? I am opting not to get braces due to redeeding gums that run in my family and I will wind up losing my teeth in the next 5-10 years anyway.
