I’m 24 years old, and I am not a very good looking guy, some may even say ugly. I never really understood why my face is so unattractive, but I think one major factor may be my weak chin. I recently started looking into getting a sliding genioplasty. I am curious how much improvement it would make in terms of attractiveness, based on my condition?

Answer: Should I get a sliding genioplasty or a chin implant? A sliding Genioplasty is performed by an oral surgeon under general anesthesia in a hospital setting with an overnight stay at the hospital, and is much more invasive. It's usually performed when the teeth are significantly out of alignment. Placement of a chin implant can augment the chin forward cosmetically for better facial balance and proportions. In our practice, we place chin implants under local anesthesia as an outpatient procedure which takes approximately 30 minutes. The size, the shape, and the thickness of the implant is best determined at the time of the consultation and examination. The implants can also be custom carved to match patient's unique anatomy.

Answer: Sliding Genioplasty Or Chin Augmentation Dear Sokhavad, A strong masculine jawline in a man is considered to be more aesthetically pleasing. In patients who do not have any issues with their bite then the simpler procedure is to have chin augmentation performed versus a genioplasty. Chin augmentation has a much speedier recovery and limited downtime. In your case I would consider submental liposuction at the same time to provide a more defined jawline and balanced profile. Seek consultations with experts in the field and have imaging performed to show you the changes these procedures would provide and then you can make an informed decision. Review the surgeons before and afters to ensure expertise.
