Could a sliding genioplasty be a fitting surgery for me to refine my side profile? (Photo)

Since I can remember, I've always felt that my chin was a little bit off whenever I looked at my side profile. It just never looked right to me, but I don't know what's the problem. I recently came across sliding genioplasty, and I am considering the procedure to fix my recessed chin. Would it help refine my side profile a little?

From your notes, it seems the double chin is structural rather than fat-related, which explains why mesolipo and HIFU haven’t worked.
