How is this genio type any different to a standard genio?

So this surgeon is not too far away from where I live here in chadstralia, and as some of you may know, my plan is to get extraction+retraction+widening orthodontics with Invisalign to fix my overjet and deep bite, and then finish it off with a genio to give a nice class one appearance. Not full jaw surgery, but it’s the practical approach to actually living life I think in my case.

But this type of genio is claimed to be better than a standard genio but I can’t figure out how exactly it’s different. Anyone know what the surgeon is on about?

"This is a modified box osteotomy of the chin, designed to deliberately grab the paired geniohyoid muscles - which are otherwise missed by the normal genioplasty procedure - in order to deliberately pull the hyoid and epiglottis forward."

So in simple terms, what does it actually do and is it worth me going for that over a standard genio which is what I am in the process of getting done currently? I’ve been consulting with a surgeon but if this genio is better I will go with it

the cut is higher so to include more muscles like genioglossus. In terms of aesthetics there is no added benefit

I will probably do it then, if it’s the same aesthetic but has added benefits then might as well. The surgeon is only like a short drive from my place anyway

Looks like the exact same as standard genioplasty.

It pulls up the hyoid attachment, I don’t know if this translates in noticeable results. I guess it might help if have a weak hyoid. Expect to pay much more than a standard genio, since he’s the one who developed it. I don’t think there’s a lot of in-depth info on the internet considering it's a relatively new technique and has limited accessibility, you should have a consultation with him directly

Yeh true. I am consulting with another surgeon at the moment but I might pop in for a visit to this guy and see what he says. I’ll just ask him straight up if it will ascend me harder than a standard genio and if he says “yeh bro it will” I’ll literally just say “sweet let’s get it on”
