Chin and gonial angle implants vs genioplasty?

Question

Hello, I am considering getting jaw surgery done on my lower jaw to improve my jaw line and make it appear more chiseled. I am not sure if the best option for my case would be custom made PEEK implants or genioplasty. Is there a possibility of bone resorption with PEEK implants? Does genioplasty make the chin appear more pointy? A few photos are attached. Thank you for your help John

If the goal is to make the chin/jawline more angular/chiseled, jaw surgery is not going to achieve that effect. To do so you have to focus on changes at the corners )chin and jaw angles) nor what happens at the main body of the lower jaw. (teeth bearing part) While the chin can be changed by a sliding genioplasty or implants, the jaw angle can only be changed by implants.
