Am I candidate for a sliding genioplasty or chin implant? (photos)

September 16, 2022
Asked By:Versatile2004 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada

I'm leaning towards genioplasty because I don't want to have to worry about dislodged implants and bone erosion down the road. My goal is to balance out my lower third as my prominent nose amplifies my weak chin, however, I don't know if I am a candidate for genioplasty. You can also see that my whole face leans to one side slightly, including my chin.
