How Can I Achieve The Same Result Surgically For My Jaw To That If When I Jut My Jaw Forward?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I used to have braces and my teeth have a good alignment, however my lower jaw/chin go further back than I would like it to. When I stick my lower jaw past my upper and my bottom teeth are more forward than the top row, I like that appearance better. Is this something a sliding genioplasty could achieve? (Photos attached include me biting down normally and me forcing my lower jaw forwards for the desired look)

A: What you are doing by jutting your jaw forward and biting down is creating a total jaw augmentation effect. (chin and jaw angles) This is more than just a chin augmentation effect alone. A sliding genioplasty can certainly create the chin augmentation but not that of the masseter muscle enlargement.
