Jaw reduction (V-line) and sliding genioplasty at the same time?

Question

I would like my side profile to be improved by forward sliding genioplasty. At the same time, I'd like to have a slimmer looking jaw from the front view. Is it possible for these 2 procedures to be done at the same time? I know the both require cutting the chin area so I'm unsure. Pls advice thank you.

Thank you for your question.  The answer is absolutely yes!What some people call "V line surgery" is exactly that; sliding genioplasty and jaw reduction.  I do recommend performing these at the same time.  It creates a larger incision in the mouth, but it still is only one recovery, one incision and one surgery.It is also helpful to do them both to create the overall slim lower face the patient desires.Best of luck

The reshaping of the back,middle,and chin at one time is preferable to control the final shape of the jaw and ensure a proper balance
