Do I need genioplasty? (Photos)

Without an exam your question cannot be answered.  You will need to see an Oral/Maxillofacial surgeon to see if othognathic surgery, genioplasty or using an implant is best for your specific case. It should be noted that patients with severely weak jaws or abnormally functioning jaws may be better treated with other facial surgery (orthognathic surgery), although a chin augmentation may be an option at a later time. These patients should seek the advice of a plastic surgeon to determine which course is right for them. Here is some information to help you make this decision: Candidates for Chin Augmentation - Patients whose chin profiles are weak but have normally functioning jaws are candidates for Chin Augmentation. Many of these candidates have used injectable fillers in the past to strengthen the protrusion of their chins, but are looking for a permanent solution. If you are one of these patients, then you are a likely candidate for chin augmentation

A sliding genioplasty is a complex operation that isn't justified by the degree of chin recession you have. A small chin implant could bring your lips and chin into alignment instead. That, in combination with your rhinoplasty, will give you a stronger and more flattering profile. I hope this helps.

A formal genioplasty where your chin bone is cut and advanced forward and possibly inferioly can be performed at the time of Rhinoplasty. Your chin however is not particularly small and you could bring it forward slightly with a small chin implant or even an injected filler. When you have computer imaging during your Rhinoplasty consult ask the surgeon to also image your chin so that you can see the result with our without the change.Good luck
