Look above at iKate! She doesn't need any height reduction with genioplasty. Now you have finally seen one example!

Actually, I kind of do, unless you were being sarcastic.

I'm just a bit scared of the procedure, and the problem with my chin is moreso the shape.

But that is my unqualified opinion. I don't even know WHAT I need.

The sliding genioplasty is employed to change the height, width, projection, and basic shape of the chin. Not just frontal projection. Burring is then done to fine tune. If it's the shape that bothers you, a genioplasty can help you a lot.

Let me start my own thread instead of derailing this one.

I'm just calling it what the FFS doctors are calling it.

Michelle,

How is your bite ?  Your lower jaw is recessed somewhat.  Not sure what procedures you are considering, but if you do have a bite problem and you think you would ever want to get that corrected - - then you may need to do a "king's X" and re-think the order of the procedures.   PM me if you want.

Surgery is 7 weeks away now!

Hi, Michele! I'm having surgery with Facial Team just a couple of days after you - I arrive on the 14th and surgery is the 18th.

It would be nice to meet you. :)

My bite is fine. But yes FT did make some comments on my recessed chin. They recommended a sliding genioplasty, but im not convinced that fixing the chin will do much in terms of feminization which is why im having the virtual photos done to help make that decision. What is a King X procedure?

You have a nice oval face shape from the front, but the jaw and chin do look masculine from the side in my opinion. I definitely think you'd benefit from a genioplasty.

Im not sure I agree that my jaw looks masculine. I would agree that the projection of my chin is short. Which to me is just a aesthetic thing and not so much a gender difference.

Of the surgeons i spoke with most made this same statement. Im also getting Alexandras opinion on this as well from VFFS.

You may be right. As I admitted earlier, I'm the type to lean towards more when it comes to bone contouring of the face, not in the amount taken off, but in the number of areas targeted. That being said, I am unimpressed with the work of most FFS doctors due to my personal preferences that obviously color what I see looking at people's faces so I'm inclined to disagree with what they say. Many times when people think Drs are trying to oversell procedures, I disagree. The doctor I'm going with said that I'm very beautiful and feminine looking, but then proceeded to tell me exactly what my analytical eyes already knew (and what I was there for). He did manage to talk me out of an upper lip lift, but I might still go for one on the day of surgery. The other doctors I've consulted needed me to point out what was "wrong" with my face because they couldn't see it until I said it. I'm not going to trust that. I realize I don't have any obvious gender markers that need removal in the eyes of the average person, but a doctor should see it. The point of all this was, you and I probably disagree on which procedures are "necessary" because we probably have different basic views. But like I said, you have a nice oval shape. I think you'll look beautiful if you just have forehead, nose, and upper lip lift.

Bella, I am curious which surgeon you have chosen to do your surgery?

Yeah I've been told that about my recessed chin too and I just don't think messing with it is worth the recovery for me, esp cuz it doesn't bother me.

Alexandra from VFFS was very kind enough to give me a quick evaluation of my chin, while she is working on preparing my virtual photos. She also confirmed that fixing my chin would only be a minor beauty enhancement and not a feminizing procedure. Im still leaning towards no chin work at this point, unless im really blown away by the differences in the virtual photos.
