I have quite moderate-severe overjet and lip incompetence, with a weak chin. I explored the option of braces but came to know from my orthodontist that they will require extractions, which I am wary of as I have heard they can ruin faces. I can't close my lips at rest and I have a chipmunk like appearance from front with a puffy face. I have put genioplasty on the table as an option but I am not sure if it will fix my problems. What'd be the best course of action for me? 18M
I have a recessed chin and think I want a sliding genioplasty but have a couple questions; 1. My bite is normal but I do have a slight overbite (class 1) and a 2mm overjet. Would it look odd if I did not correct this first? 2. I have not gotten an xray yet so Im not sure, but I plan on getting a 10+ mm advancement. How bad would recovery be for this? How long would it take for most swelling and bruising to go away? 3. The main reason I dont want a chin implant is because I care about my front profile as well as my side profile and generally before/afters I have seen look better with sliding genioplasties. Is there an actual aesthetic difference between these two surgeries? Or am I just seeing bad examples?
I don't have the eye to tell what exactly is making my side profile unappealing, I might just be unattractive period but it bothers me especially from the side is it the large forehead? the nose?(had 2 rhinoplasties) is it the chin? the angle/curve of the jaw? I don't know, please tell me with no filter, if its my bone structure that is simply unattractive and can't be fixed with surgery I would appreciate if it was bluntly pointed out.
I have a witches chin. I was thinking of simply putting filler in the mental crease but theres just so much soft tissue I dont think that would solve my issue. When I press on the bone it doesnt protrude excessively its mainly that soft tissue. Is a procedure like that doable?
Im a 20 year old female who has always been self conscious about my chin and jaw. Ive been wanting to do something about it but I was unsure on what type of specialist to see and the type of procedures I might need. I was wondering if a genioplasty would work or if I need something else.
Hi, for reference I am a 26 y/o male and have a short, round face. I want a vertical genioplasty advancement of 810mm to balance my face aesthetics better. I hired someone to edit pictures of what my face might look like after a vertical genioplasty. Can these edits translate to realistic, surgical results? What do you think the approximate size (mm) of the vertical advancement is in these edits?
Looking into procedures to reduce/soften my chin shape. In mid 40's and not sure if late to do. Somthing I've been insecure about for a long time. Would this be the best procedure to consider? I also have teeth crowding and a narrow palate so Wondered if jaw surgery could also be an option.
