Should I get a chin implant or sliding genioplasty? (Photo)

Hello, hope you are well. The most straightforward procedure with consistent results, low risk, and minimal downtime is a chin implant. This can be performed in the office under local anesthesia. If it is placed through an incision inside the mouth, there is no visible scar. If your occlusion ('bite') were a concern, you would be directed toward orthognathic surgery, but that is significantly more involved.

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

You would benefit from either procedure but with large advancements I prefer the sliding genioplasty. In some cases, I will advance 9-10 mm via a sliding genioplasty then 6 months later add additional projection with an implant. It appears that you would benefit from a large advancement.

A sliding genioplasty is performed by an oral surgeon in a hospital setting with an overnight stay, and is more invasive. It's usually performed when the teeth are significantly out of alignment. For purely cosmetic purposes, a chin implant can be inserted under local anesthesia in the office setting, which takes about a half an hour, and it's less invasive.
