Am I a good candidate for Genioplasty or would another surgery be better suited? (photos)

Asked By:cowboykarlos in Avon Park, Florida

I am 19 years old and my receding chin has always bothered me. I had buccal fat removal 2 years ago for excess cheek fat. My main insecurity is the convex appearance of my face but i'm not sure if a chin implant/chin filler would be a better route than genioplasty. I like the less invasive nature of filler or an implant, but the migration of filler along with how temporary it is dissuades me. I've also heard that an implant isn't a good option for a young patient.
