I am interested in hearing about options that might help make my chin less prominent. My chin appears t stick out too far away from my chin. I believe my issue may both be a combination of bone and soft tissue. If I cant fix the issue fully without full jaw surgery, I am interested in options that will help make it look "better." I have a budget to keep in mind so prices ranges for each option would be extremely helpful with a idea of recovery times as well.

How you heal after sliding genioplasty depends more on your individual health than your age. Someone in their 20's but smokes, has diabetes, on steroids etc. will heal worse than a healthy 60 year old. Age is just a number!
Chin ptosis (witch's chin) is very uncommon whereby the chin droops below the horizontal line and becomes worse while smiling. It can be corrected through an incision under the chin under local or light general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure with minimal recovery.
Thank you for your query.I am sorry to hear you are still unhappy following your surgery. I would recommend you take this up with your surgeon. Your nose/upper lip/chin line shows an improvement.Kind regards.
