Can 1 mm less greatly affect the results in a sliding genioplasty? (Photos)

February 5, 2025
Asked By:Gentle931223 in Ciudad de México, Ciudad de México, México

The doctor told me that his plan was to advance the chin forward 6mm. I freaked out and I asked him to do just 1 mm less because I just want a subtle result. I'm starting to regret my decision, maybe 1 mm can do a lot of difference. Can 1 mm less affect the whole result significantly?

Would I benefit from a genioplasty to improve heavy lower face? (photo)
Michael P. Morrissette, DDS, FACS says:

In the profile photo your chin is prominent with a deep mentolabial fold. It is probably a bit short in the vertical dimension. A reduction genioplasty would diminish the amount of projection and slightly lengthen the chin to reduce the depth of the mentolabial fold.

Dear SouthernBird90, In my professional opinion, you should not have your sliding genioplasty before your DJ S. It will skew your orthodontic analysis and facial analysis for your DJS. Additionally, the prior surgery would create scar tissue from that surgery that may hamper your DJS Best...
