Hi,
I'm considering a sliding genioplasty, or possibly jaw surgery, for a weak chin. I'm happy with the length and width, but severely lacking in projection.
I've consulted with Dr Paul Johnson (UK) and Dr Jamali (NYC). My bite's okay, so Paul Johnson thought a genioplasty alone would suffice. He seems knowledgeable and very experienced, but he doesn't provide simulations and didn't seem to do an awful lot of planning. I've had botched surgery in the past (not jaw), so I'm extra careful these days. Anyway, I got a second opinion with Jamali. He said we could move my teeth back a little then move the lower jaw forward, but we could probably achieve the same result (cosmetically) with a genioplasty alone. My only reservation is that he doesn't have that many years experience, although he did say he does about 30-40 genioplasties a year. I'm also in contact with Arnett and Gunson, and I'm currently awaiting a consultation date.
I know there are a lot of people on these forums far more knowledgable about this than me, so I'm posting x-rays. If any of you have any advice, or experience with the mentioned surgeons, then please do let me know.
Thanks!
