What’s better in my case; a sliding genioplasty or chin implant? (Photo)

Asked By:Chris4002 in Newark, DE

Hi I was wondering if I could ask a question; I used to have bad teeth but then got braces so my teeth are fortunately straight now. After straightening my teeth my orthodontist told me I had a recessed or otherwise “weak chin” and he’d be able to fix it if I was willing to. I haven’t seen him in a year now and I’ve really wanted to enhance by chin. I’d much rather prefer getting a chin implant but would like to know what’s best for my case.
