Sliding Genioplasty Vs Chin Implant

cmATL
I saw a plastic surgeon last year and we discussed buccal fat removal and sliding genioplasty. I've held off on the surgery due to the risks. Would a chin implant work in my case? I'm hoping for options with less risk of complications than the sliding genioplasty. What do you suggest in my situation? I'm 24 years old and very unhappy with the lower half of my face. Thank you!
