Can you tell me about sliding genioplasty?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: A sliding genioplasty and it's derivatives refers to the process of sawing free the end of your chin bone and moving it to create an aesthetic improvement in your chin/face. While not always appropriate, one advantage to this vs, chin implant it not using synthetic material (other than small plates and screws). Your entire face must be taken into account, not just your chin. See a plastic surgeon.
