Is reduction sliding genio is good for me? If so please, how many mm to cut & advance? (Photos)

Question

Hello! My main concerns-mentalis strain,difficulty closing the mouth, chin height and side profile. Maxfcl surgeon is not advising reduction genioplasty as it will lead to chin ptosis. And sliding reduction genio will make my face even more longer and kind of weird. Another one says reduction sliding genio is fine for me but want to move 4mm in front which I find will be too much for me. Both say double jaw surgery is best but I’m not doing that. I have deep mandalabial crease.

You can have the vertical height of the jaw reduced, and the chin moved forward either directly or with a chin implant.  We can prevent chin ptosis at the same time.  This is a common procedure in my office and the key will be if you are comfortable with your current teeth position and bite. If so, we can likely help. If not, I'd consider maxillomandibular advance.

Hello. Genioplasty is not your only option. You have an easier and cheaper option than genioplasty. I suggest you research silicone chin implants. You can get the same result with chin implants. Please check our Instagram account and RealSelf photos. You can get more detailed information about me, ask all questions about your case and sending your photos to my assistants at the number on my profile. You can also book an online consultation and discuss your problems with me. With all respect.
