Chin reduction and augmentation at the same time?

So my chin recedes, but it is very long. I want my chin to be reduced by perhaps 1/4 inch, and projected forward as well, to be a stronger, better chin. What would the process be for this? Would I need multiple CT scans? I don't want THAT much radiation. Could it be done in one procedure?

A properly positioned chin implant should not move or be palpated under the skin. I would recommend that you have CT scan to determine if it is properly positioned. It may need to be removed or repositioned.

In vertical augmentation genioplasty, if the amount of vertical gain is less than 5 mm I don't place a bone graft. If the gap is 5 mm or more I place a "putty" graft of mineralized cadaver bone. In younger patients the bone can sometimes bridge a gap of 7-8 mm.
