Thank you ! regards

Thank you for your question and for providing photos. You are likely a candidate to receive a chin implant to improve the appearance of your recessed chin, define the jawline, and create balance among your facial features. In your case, it is possible that the orthodontics you mentioned may need to be considered in addition to implanting a chin implant to achieve the most optimal result. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon. They will be able to review your orthodontist’s recommendations, discuss your concerns with you, and help you determine the best treatment plan to achieve your aesthetic goals.

I would recommend you really consider jaw surgery before making any final decisions. Jaw problems tend to become worse with age, and the recovery does as well. If you are 100% sure you do not want to go that route, then a genioplasty would get you the results you are looking for. This would bring your chin forward and down, creating more facial balance and the projection you are looking for. It will also add length and definition to your jawline. A chin implant is limited to its movement and placement, and would not achieve the best outcome. One of the main benefits of a genioplasty is that it lasts forever, and the whole procedure is done through the mouth, which means no external scarring. I would say a genioplasty would be the best option for you to achieve your aesthetic goal. Our office provides morph photo simulations of your expected outcome, so you have a better idea of what the result would look like. We would be happy to schedule a consultation to discuss your options further!

Your chin is recessive and short in height. I would recommend a vertically lengthening genioplasty with advancement. No braces or double jaw surgery is required. The genioplasty is done in the office with intravenous anesthesia and does not change or affect your bite.

Making a proper assessment of someone’s mandible can be a bit complex and isn’t always straightforward.
In your case the body of your mandible is small and lacks projection. That’s why you’ll have the dental overbite occlusion and I’m profile pictures you see your upper lip has significant more forward projection than your lower lip. The relationship between your upper and lower lip is a direct reflection of your dental occlusion.
At the same time if your mentalis or Chinn projects quite strongly.
On your profile picture do you see a socket or a deep fold between your chin and lower lip.
Do you have sufficient projection of your chin but not of the body of your mandible.
The area where you need your mandible to be bigger is behind your teeth not in front of your teeth.
Your chin could use vertical height but not forward projection.
Forward projection will give you a witch his chin and it will worsen the labiomental fold.
I highly recommend you consult with oral surgeons or plastic surgeons who have a craniofacial fellowship training.
Do you need a really comprehensive assessment of the relationship between your mandible and your maxilla and you need to understand all of the different aspects to an accurate and comprehensive assessment and understand all treatment options.
Most likely a jaw advancement is the correct procedure for you.
If you go to providers who don’t do that operation then they may steer you towards doing chin surgery only.

I don’t think he would be happy with the outcome of just doing a chin augmentation.
It’s a good idea to schedule multiple consultations.
When you start hearing consistent recommendations then you know you’re getting close to finding the right provider.
You can consult for plastic surgeons but in your case I think providers who don’t do jaw advancement surgery should probably not be involved.
Regardless of what procedure you choose you should be in the hands of someone who can offer all different surgical options
I think you’re an excellent candidate and should be able to have a nice result.
Start scheduling in person consultations and see how it goes.
When in doubt slow down and schedule more consultations.
You don’t have to have surgery with the first person you meet.
Best,
