What's the difference between a chin and jaw implant? Are they the same thing? (photo)

Asked By:jnpgnby in San Francisco, CA

Hi, I'm an Asian male looking to strengthen my weak chin, which lacks both vertical height and projection. I would prefer to place a permanent implant, rather than sliding genioplasty. From my research, a jaw implant sounds like what I'm looking for, but is that different from a chin implant or another name for the same procedure? Can you advise me on what procedure best suits what I'm looking for? Thank you.
