Can I get Sliding Genioplasty and Jaw slimming/Vline surgery together? If so, what type of surgeon do I see?

Question

Hi, I was wondering if it was possible and SAFE to get Sliding Genioplasty and Jaw slimming/Vline surgery Together if so What type of surgeon do I see? My chin is very off center to the point of being obviously visible so I want genioplasty to correct it and I would like to slim my jaw down cause it is bulky, so I was wondering if I could do these procedures at the same time? IF I cant get these two surgeries done at the same time what type of surgeon do I see for the genioplasty?

Yes, V-line surgery and genioplasty are often performed at the same time. You would need to find an oral & maxillofacial surgeon or a plastic surgeon who performs this procedure. The chin can be centered with the sliding genioplasty. Jaw slimming and genioplasty are performed in our office with sedation anesthesia and the surgery takes about 2 hours. The bite and teeth are unaffected so you are allowed to eat a diet as tolerated but most people will choose a soft diet for about 5 days.

It is common for me to do these procedures together.  The chin and haw are seamlessly connected and it's best to adjust the at the same time for a smooth outcome and easier recovery.  The surgery takes about 1 hour, and you can leave the same day.
