I naturally have chubby cheeks, a receded chin, and very weak jawline. At 23 years old, this not only makes me look younger, but it also gives me a double chin majority of the time, regardless of being in shape (5'6, small frame, 125-130lbs). Every photo taken of me (unless it was a selfie taken from an above angle) was a shot of me with two or more chins. This had made me very self conscious. I also felt I didn't look very assertive due to my receded, weak, chin and weak jawline.
I went for a consultation with Dr. Fialkov in regards to a chin implant and submental liposuction (to remove the hereditary fat pad under my chin). Dr. Fialkov was very informative and suggested that I go with a sliding genioplasty instead of an implant, as it uses your own bone so it looks more natural, feminine, and you are less likely to have issues later on (your body rejecting it, material wear, and shifting of the implant). A bone graft to add length he mentioned was a possibility, if after we do all the measurements we decided I need to add length to my face as well, but I wasn't willing to under-go that surgery and we also agreed in my circumstance that it was not necessary. He agreed that submental liposuction was needed to remove the fat under my chin, but thought it would also benefit me to have a buccal fat pad removal (two small pockets of fat from the cheeks beside the mouth) to give me a more slim, contoured face and less chubby cheeked. All the incisions, aside from the one for the submental liposuction, were inside the mouth with desolvable stitches. The incision for submental liposuction is maybe a mm or two, and under the chin where you naturally have a crease anyways, so I barely notice it, even though it hasn't healed yet.

BEAUTIFUL!! <3
Would you mind posting more after photos, now that your swelling has improved?
I am in Toronto, considering Dr. Fialkov for the same procedures (genioplasty, buccal fat removal and submental lipo). I had a consultation with a similar surgeon, Dr. Oleh Antonyshyn, and plan to do a consultation with Dr. Fialkov before deciding. They have the same specialties, and both work out of Sunnybrook.
For the cost of $9000+, I just want to be sure about what I can expect as far as the outcome. I really appreciate you sharing your experience! Thank you for your bravery.
