I am considering getting a sliding genioplasty / chin implant to improve the aesthetic appeal of my chin. However, I play a lot of contact sports at a high level. I am involved in boxing, wrestling, and soccer. I compete at high levels in all of these sports. I am wondering if it would still be possible to get a procedure done, knowing that I will eventually return to contact sports after the recovery. After the bones are finished regrowing in a slding genio, could I still play sports? Thx

I would recommend a combination of chin augmentation and perioral mound liposuction. Done together they will create significant improvement in both of your concerns. Those procedures will help in reducing the appearance of bimaxillary protrusion, particularly the chin augmentation.
A Chin implant (even a small one) can make such a great difference visually on anyone- but especially on a male, providing a more balanced, masculine jawline and profile. It is one of the easiest surgeries with the lowest complication rates and one of the best self-confidence boosters around.
