Which is better: a sliding genioplasty or chin implants?

Pros and cons: A sliding genioplasty and chin implants can accomplish the same end result of improving the profile of a deficient chin area. The genioplasty is more invasive and involves a permanent restructuring of the anatomy of the lower jaw. Chin implants are less invasive and may be easier to achieve the desired end contours needed. Consulting a surgeon re: pros and cons of each is recommended.

Genioplasty: I think the major drawback of an implant is that bony resorption can occur. In a small percentage of patients who have chosen chin implants, some eventually have them removed because of foreign body reactions that lead to bony resorption.

Which is better?: There is no better. Each option has the good candidates and bad candidates. Best to seek ONLY IN PERSON examinations with a boarded surgeon.
