What is best for me a chin implant revision or sliding genioplasty? (photos)

Petunia37
I'm 37 yo F, I had a silicone chin implant 12 yrs ago (size 1 Allergan symmetric) Never had a problem, but was always self-conscious that it was too small. Last year, I upgraded to an ImplantTech XL anatomical Implant. Immediately it looked great, but after a few weeks it was sagging out of position, creating a strange shape. My physician says my periosteum is non-existent from the surgeries and there is no tissue to attach an implant. Is there hope for me? Sliding genioplasty/new implant?
