I went under and got a sliding genioplasty to improve my side profile but after two years post-op I don't have the results I wanted. I feel as though my side profile is too heavy and elongates my face. I'm looking into reversing the chin slightly and combining it with a rhinoplasty. Thoughts?

The shape of the chin and the aesthetic goals will influence the type of cut in the bone. That central portion of the cut looks a little higher and closer to the roots of the teeth. it may not be an exact representation of the surgeons plans.
You are a candidate for jaw surgery and have an open bite. If you are strictly looking for a cosmetic procedure, then you could benefit from a genioplasty. Your chin is a bit short and quite recessed. Moving it forward and down would bring balance to your profile while elongating your jawline....
The height of the chin can be vertically reduced and altered in position with a genioplasty. This solves the 'long' appearance patients often complain about. Xrays would show you the issue
