Chin implant vs sliding genioplasty — trying to understand the difference
Weak chin, profile bugs me more than anything. I keep seeing both options. Which questions help figure out which one is even relevant to me?

Very broadly: implant adds volume on the bone, genioplasty cuts and moves the bone itself (so it can move it forward, down, sideways, shorten). Which makes sense depends on your bite, how much change you need, and direction. Ask them to explain on your X-ray/CT why they're picking one.
