Yes, the sliding genioplasty would be best in your case. The chin can be advanced 9-10 mm. In some cases, I place a chin implant later if more projection is needed (cases that need 15 mm). You do not need to undergo corrective jaw surgery if your bite is fine. The sliding genioplasty is...

We almost always recommend a genioplasty over an implant for several reasons. A genioplasty can typically provide more projection and definitely more height than an implant. An added benefit of a genioplasty is it adds length and definition to the jawline while tightening the skin under the skin...
