Would a chin implant create adequate change or will I need a sliding genioplasty? (photos)

August 6, 2024
Asked By:InventiveSalem in Salt Lake City, Utah

I'm 37, have braces to fix an overbite and overcrowding (likely due to tongue thrust). I hate the lip incompetence and mentalis strain, and would love to see them gone or greatly diminished. I also want to see a more defined jawline and prominent chin. I would greatly prefer the recovery time of a chin implant over genioplasty. Could an implant achieve my goals? -Thank you!
