Does the chin in genioplasty need to be in contact with mandible to grow back together?

Asked By:Bradm in Oregon City, Oregon

I’ve been looking at my scans and I think I would benefit from vertical and horizontal advancement but no rotation. This would make my chin “floating” in space and attached by plates and screws. Is this possible? Can the bone grow back together if not in contact?
