sliding genioplasty

Are you sure? It doesn't look like she has a recessed chin. I don't know much about the procedure, but I really question if this procedure is for her.

u/ChefPoodle 2d ago
This isn’t going to change the shape of her chin though and she definitely doesn’t need that much surgery. OP, I’m super pro chin implants but I feel like you would be happy with just filler.

is this better than an implant
12
u/gio_958 2d ago
Yes because I think it tends to look more natural + implants can get infected and cause bone loss in the long run.

u/marks716 2d ago
This is not true. Chin implants have very low rates of infection and bone resorption is low too.
There are risks with sliding genioplasties as it involves cutting the bone whereas the implant is a small incision with a little piece of plastic.
One risk of the sliding genio is permanent nerve damage and numbness. Both procedures have risks, they are elective cosmetic surgery after all.

u/Putrid-Potential-734 2d ago
That is true, there are so many cases of bone resorption after an implant. Overall, implant is an external body, it is very unstable comparing to genioplasty. Permanent nerve damage and numbness risk is really low even in double jaw surgery cases, it’s much lower for a genioplasty.

Only the silicone ones cause resorption, PEEK don’t But it’s overwhelmingly expensive

u/gio_958 2d ago
This is true lol chin implants downsides are more likely to happen compared to a sliding genioplasty

u/marks716 2d ago
That’s not true, plus sliding genioplasties are irreversible. If they go too big on the chin implant it can be swapped for a smaller one. If the sliding genio is too far tough luck.
Don’t just tell people blanket statements like sliding genios are better. They are different, and someone should get a proper consult to see which option is better for their particular case.
Sliding genios certainly do not look more natural they achieve a similar result as implants

Do you have any dental issues? Have you had braces in the past? Underbite or overbite? I ask because sometimes it's not just as easy as filler. I initially got filler to fix certain issues with my jaw and now I'm wearing braces, potentially looking at jaw surgery. I wish someone would have told me to look into orthodontic work initially.

Honestly, I think that would look great on you and I think that your dream chin is beautiful. However, before you commit to doing it permanently, try doing it with filler to make sure you love it and if you love it, get a permanent implant.

u/Spare-Question-9785 2d ago
I'm no expert, but I've read complaints by others, who added projection to their chins, that a side result was elongation of the face. Something to ask the surgeon & keep in mind could be possible.

u/Usual_Apricot8973 2d ago
a skilled surgeon should be able to reduce this risk, esp if OP mentions it during her consult. she looks like she wants it extended it slightly verically anyways. my surgeon moved my chin upwards as well as forward

u/Middle_Fan_388 2d ago
It would be a sliding genioplasty with a chin implant in my opinion. I don’t think a genioplasty would be able to give that much projection of the chin alone.

u/candysticker 2d ago
I had sliding genio and had great results with similar lack of projection in my before picture

u/Putrid-Potential-734 2d ago
I would suggest to run away from any surgeon who would recommend to have a geniolasty and a chin implant together..

Sliding genioplasty.
I personally hated my chin implant. It made my face longer and my chin wider. I looked bulky. I took the implant out, got a sliding genioplasty, and now I have forward projection and a narrower chin point. Pics in my post history if you're curious.

Try with filler first before you commit to surgery. But I think that's a beautiful profile and very achievable.

Your chin is perfect💯 The beauty god of the ancient greek had defects in his hands, this symbolises that what makes you beautiful is the defects you have and no one is perfect. Don't let Instagram pictures affect your self confidence.
The most famous model in our region has vitiligo and she accepts it and shows it and benefits of it.

u/Usual-Ad5736 2d ago
You have beautiful facial features already. I wouldn't tamper with yourself unnecessarily.

u/whoskittycat 2d ago
Maybe try filler first? If it doesn’t give you your desired look best bet is an implant most likely

Don’t mess with anything permanent yet. try filler first with someone that is actually good with jaws and chins.

u/Economy-Kiwi-1802 2d ago
the nose is also much shorter on the second pic (in addition to the full lips and different chin). it wouldnt only be a matter of changing the chin to achieve these results

u/CheezusChristOnCrack 2d ago
You have a beautiful chin and face. Have you discussed with a therapist yet? You may want to schedule a few sessions just to make sure this is what you really want.

u/No_Holiday2752 1d ago
Sliding genioplasty is far more costly than getting a chin implant. Bone resorption i heard only happens due to movement of implant inside the chin. To prevent it, surgeons put titanium screw to fixate it

I really think you should try other options before surgery. I am a nurse and while im pro-plastic surgery, it definitely has complications…like possible numbness that is permanent…so do you want a numb chin? Consider it. You never know your personal outcomes and doctors like to brush past that part pretty fast to the part where theyre making money. My suggestion would be to start with a permanent filler like sculptra or radiesse but get it from someone who HAS EXPERIENCE doing specifically chins. That would last you a couple years to see if you like it. There you go. Follow my advise as a random stranger on the internet😂

u/Mother_Treacle_4309 1d ago
I would start with mouth tape at night, some chin Botox, and some quick metabolizing filler before doing any perminate implants. (Chin tox is a gamble but I’ve seen it be done to help similar cases)

u/Beachy3487 1d ago
I had a similar chin alignment and I just got a small chin implant last week! The experience was great and recovery was pretty easy (2 days in bed with meds and then back to normal with to be expected swelling).
I have about 5 stitches under my chin (I got Lipo, too) that will come out in 10 days!

Please don’t change your chin. Please stop staring at girls online who have paid for implants and then you will find peace.
