Sliding Genioplasty lost projection after swelling was gone, using filler?

Also my upper jaw is already very wide forward, moving it even more forward with a BSSO would not result in a good aesthetic face.

You may have misunderstood me too. I was not suggesting to move your upper jaw forward. The suggestion was for a set back to it.

Could you post a photo anyway? Just for the sake of curiosity.

There's no guarantee your lower lip will meet your upper after lower jaw surgery advancement. I think some others here can attest to that from their own experience. But that would be the way to try to correct that discrepancy. Yeah as kavan said, if you want more heft in your chin area then consider a custom type of chin implant with no advancement but bulk to the jowls and area left and right of the chin b point/apex. I don't mind the supposed protrusive upper face at all. Looks good even.

A chin wing is too dangerous and would most likely just result in an even pointer chin, and a visible plate that stands forward.
During my SG the chin was moved by 11 mm.

Jaw surgery isn't just a "bite only" thing, or at least it shouldn't be - it's about correcting skeletal imbalances. For e.g., traditional orthodontics (like I and many others have had) "corrects" a class II bite but does not deal with the resulting skeletal problems, which is where jaw surgery comes in.
If you're from the UK (I'm guessing) then you'll need to contact surgeons in Europe for the correct diagnosis.
To counter the 'healthy limb' argument, you had an involved surgery that was not really right for you, which IMO is worse than having a slightly more involved surgery that is aimed at correcting the actual problem.

I think he's already in Europe as he (or maybe someone else) mentioned they knew him from a German board. Anyway, something like a Lefort2 set back would be more in venue of doctor who also has CRANIO-facial expertise underbelt. It's very common for many of the max fax guys to to just want to stick to the lefort 1s since that's the most kind of common Lefort done. Not to mention the other Leforts are much more challenging. So, would basically take an 'uncommon' MOTIVATION to hunt down the guy for the job. What he has does not look like an easy fix (protrusion to the L2 area). But I guess it's a good thing that just some more chin bulk would bring him more happiness. Maybe a silicone pre-jowl implant or some deeply placed MACRO-lane. Both can be taken out or down if they don't do the trick.
