need your opinions, im tryna figure out whether my chin recession is JUST the chin (by itself) - or if it's caused by the mandible or even the maxilla.
i've got a class I bite, it's basically almost perfect, if the chin is due to my mandible/maxilla, i'd probably need a bimax then.
already started consultations for genioplasty

i think the shape of the chin needs to be accounted too u can have a soft chin but good mandible

Yea I'm no expert but maxilla and mandible are both recessed but recessed equally. So I think surgeon knows how to ailing them perfectly with bimax. Obviously both need to go forward. ( get braces and palate expander before bimax.)

braces for what, there's no bite issues
 
not sure if this plays a role but im pushing 20% bf. would've thought that might give the illusion of the jaw sinking into the neck but fuck knows.
 
Get a custom genio / custom genio with custom implants. Doing a just a regular sliding genio on a flat chin might not produce the best results.

true.
what's going on in my case though? is the mandible the reason for the chin recession? or is the mandible alright atleast

Chin recession is not caused by maxillary recession I think

Yeah its entirely genetic
Exactly what I thought. My mums chin is recessed, unfortunate I couldn't get my dad's chin.

Class I bite kinda explains it too. Genio it is.
 
Get genio start saving immediately
I would go to ramieri

Genio is enough, bsso or lefort would be unnecessary in your case especially without malocclusion
