I've got a weak chin and recessed lower jaw. Do I need to have x-rays done to tell what the best things to do would be? What type of doctor should I see?

Answer: Would I benefit from sliding genioplasty? A sliding genioplasty is performed by an oral surgeon under general anesthesia in a hospital setting with an overnight hospital stay, and is much more invasive. This procedure is usually performed when the teeth are significantly out alignment. Chin implants are placed for patients to want a simple cosmetic augmentation to the chin when it is recessive. Chin implants are performed under local anesthesia as an outpatient procedure which takes approximately 30 minutes.
