Hi guys,
First topic. Go easy if I sound like an idiot. I am considering a genioplasty and just wanted to make sure I was on the right track. Here are my pics:

https://imgur.com/a/4xUqqMy chin is smaller than I would like it to be. It would fit my relatively wide face better than a small chin. I have been sensitive about this for a while and now feel the need to take action. I also have a split chin which only exacerbates the small chin. I am hoping to be able to lengthen it vertically and a little bit horizontally as well. However, my worry with horizontal advancement is it might make my already prominent mentolabial sulcus even deeper. I would prefer a flatter chin or at least a shallower sulcus. In anycase I was wondering how much would you reckon I would need in terms of vertical and horizontal lengthening in mm. On that note is there anyone you can recommend (could be paid) who I could consult for a morph.
My shortlist of docs to do the procedure are Dr Sinn, Posnick, Hobar and Morin. Posnick seems more academic and he would be quite expensive especially for a SG...I don't know if I need to go to a world class expert for this procedure. Hobar and Morin though trained in craniofacial surgery are not max fax. That leaves Dr Sinn who seems like a really good option. What are your opinions on him and are there any others I should consider since I am needing mostly vertical length which makes it a little more complicated than a typical SG? (Feel free to PM as well) I should also mention there is an apparently great max fax in the city I am from. Dr Wittenberg. Everytime I look him up there are great reviews but also people saying they should be extra careful because he has a bunch of on going lawsuits. Especially reading on makemeheal...all you hear are not just warnings on him but also horror stories of SG in general. Permanent numbness, ptosis and bad aesthetics. But obviously I am reading a collective of patients with negative results while those with good ones are not adequately represented. Frankly a lot of them do look like good results to me. But I am looking at mostly women's before afters but through the eyes of a man.
