Am I a candidate for a chin implant or is in my case a jaw surgery or just genioplasty more indicated? My bite is good (no over or underbite), I’ve had braces for years. I was hoping that also the drooping of my cheeks and jowls would be corrected my correcting my poor developed mandible and chin?

Both of these surgeries are done entirely through the mouth, so there will be no external incisions or scars. Although we do ask that you shave your facial hair before the surgery, there is no reason for it to be effected afterwards!
You are a candidate for either a genioplasty or a chin implant. Both procedures would give you better lower facial balance. I would likely recommend a chin implant over a genioplasty unless you have a particular preference.
