Would an Implantech anatomical chin implant be ideal for me? (photos)

I had two failed chin implant surgeries. Now I need a third surgery because of dislocation and twistinhg of the imolant "wings". Currently I have very little forward projection and mostly downward projection since the implant is pointing down. Photo with headset is with implant For the next surgery my question is: can I use "Anatomical chin", 10 mm, from Implantech? Its Not as wide as Extended AC. Is a less wide implant also ok for men, or only for women? I do have narrow face. Is it ok?
