Is it possible to safely combine sliding genioplasty with a chin implant to achieve increases in projection of 20mm or greater?

waitandsee
I'm a man with a very prominent nose (wont change it at this point), and weak chin that sits 20mm behind my upper lip. My bite is good. Can I safely combine sliding genioplasty and a chin implant for a 20mm chin projection increase? How about 15mm? What are the risks/recovery time? Which surgeons have experience doing this? I CANNOT afford to permanently lose sensation in my lips as oral presentation is a big part of my job and I also love playing trumpet. Temporary sensation loss is ok.
