Question regarding slight genioplasty for natural enhancement (Photo)

March 20, 2024
Asked By:Cheerful633447 in Coffeyville, Kansas

I am currently considering a slight genioplasty procedure to enhance the appearance of my chin. I am seeking your professional advice to achieve a subtle change that complements my facial features without appearing unnatural or elongated. To provide you with a better understanding of my desired outcome, I have attached two images for reference. My primary question is whether it would be feasible to achieve this desired projection through genioplasty.
