Will sliding genioplasty cause lower lip numbness, will it be permanent?

ema stones
I just had orthognatic surgery it helped, but not fully my chin is still short and I'm going to need sliding genioplasty. I'm just worried about getting numb in my lower lip and chin again. How long after having orthognatic surgery should I wait to have genioplasty? Is their a risk for permanent numbness increase if you've damaged the nerve before? Can i have the incision under my chin?
