18, female, should I consider a sliding genioplasty or v-shape surgery? Or other options? (Photos)

Question

My face is round and I would like it to be slimmer. I know that I have a weak chin and I'm not sure if a sliding genioplasty will help slim my face. I also know that I have a dorsal hump that will probably need to be addressed too. There are pictures below:

Based on these photos, correction of the chin by means of augmentation would be the most significant part of "shaping" your face. This can be achieved with implant as well as sliding genioplasty; implant  will present oportunity to widen your chin in horizontal aspect. Rhinoplasty should be a part of that surgery. In person consultation witha board certified plastic surgeon with good reputation in both surgeries is recommended. Good luck.

William Portuese, MD · Answer

The photographs demonstrate a dorsal hump on your nose and a recessive chin profile. Consider placement of a chin implant to augment the chin forward for better facial balance and proportions. A closed rhinoplasty approach can accomplish shaving down the dorsal hump, narrowing the bridge line and refining the nasal tip. Both procedures can be performed together under one anesthesia with one recovery period.
