Considering a genioplasty for a recessed chin - Could these edited photos translate to a real, surgical results? (Photos)

Dear Riirurine,
Yes—surgical genioplasty can often achieve projection similar to what you’re showing in your edited photos. However, digital morphs are only a rough guide and don’t always reflect what is surgically safe or harmonious for your features.
In most patients, the chin can be advanced anywhere from 4–8 mm through a sliding genioplasty. That range provides a noticeable improvement while maintaining balance with the rest of the face. Larger movements are sometimes possible, but they must be carefully tailored to your bite, facial proportions, and airway considerations.
Because you’re currently on Invisalign, timing matters too—many surgeons recommend completing or nearly completing orthodontics before surgery to ensure the chin advancement looks natural and works in harmony with your corrected bite.
Bottom line: an in-person evaluation with a board-certified plastic surgeon or oral & maxillofacial surgeon will confirm whether your desired edits are achievable and safe.

Typical genioplasty advancement is about 4–8 mm, which often provides results close to digital edits. Your orthodontic treatment should be factored into the surgical plan.
