Lower third/jaw surgeries based on your failo (jawcells GTFIH)

[subltn]

Don't know which lower third/jaw surgery is best for you? This guide should help. I complied all the potential surgeries with pros and cons to help you decide. This should cover everything, lmk if I missed anything (TLDR at the end).

1. If Your Chin is Recessed (Weak Chin)​

Sliding Genioplasty – Moves the chin bone forward.

Best for: Weak chin but normal jaw.
Pros: Permanent, natural-looking, no implant needed.
Cons: Requires bone cutting, risk of nerve damage.

Chin Implant – A silicone or Medpor implant placed over the chin bone.

Best for: People who don’t want bone surgery and need mild to moderate projection.
Pros: Quick procedure, minimal downtime.
Cons: Can look unnatural, risk of implant shifting, less control over shape than genioplasty.

BSSO (Bilateral Sagittal Split Osteotomy) Advancement – Moves the entire lower jaw forward.

Best for: If the whole jaw is recessed, not just the chin.
Pros: Improves bite and aesthetics.
Cons: More invasive, requires braces pre/post-surgery.

2. If Your Chin is Too Long (Prominent/Overprojected)​

Sliding Genioplasty (Setback/Reduction) – Moves the chin bone backward or reduces height.

Best for: Chin that sticks out too much but normal jaw.
Pros: Permanent and precise.
Cons: Requires surgery and bone healing.

Chin Bone Shaving/Reduction – Directly shaves off excess bone.

Best for: People who only need a small reduction.
Pros: Less invasive than genioplasty.
Cons: Can’t move the chin back much, risk of bone asymmetry.

Bimax (Bimaxillary Surgery with Mandible Setback) – Moves the lower jaw back.

Best for: If the whole lower jaw is too large.
Pros: Fixes overbite and improves bite function.
Cons: Major surgery, requires orthodontics.

3. If Your Jaw is Recessed (Weak Jawline)​

BSSO Advancement – Moves the lower jaw forward.

Best for: Recessed lower jaw causing weak jawline.
Pros: Improves bite and aesthetics.
Cons: Requires braces.

Jaw Implants (Mandibular Implants) – Silicone or Medpor implants along the jawline.

Best for: Aesthetically enhancing jawline without moving bones.
Pros: Quick and effective.
Cons: Risk of implant movement, infection.

Custom Jaw Augmentation (PEEK, 3D-Printed Titanium, Medpor Implants) – Custom-fitted implants for precise jaw enhancement.

Best for: Severe jaw deficiencies.
Pros: Tailored for facial harmony.
Cons: Expensive, requires skilled surgeon.

4. If You Have a Strong Jaw but Poor Definition (Lack of Sharpness)​

Jawline Liposuction – Removes excess fat under the chin and jawline.

Best for: People with soft tissue covering their jaw.
Pros: Minimally invasive, quick recovery.
Cons: Won’t work for weak bone structure.

Buccal Fat Removal + Jaw Implants – Reduces midface fullness while adding structure to the lower third.

Best for: Chubby faces that lack definition.
Pros: Can create a chiseled look.
Cons: Buccal fat removal can prematurely age the face.

Masseter Botox – Reduces jaw muscle bulk for a more V-shaped face.

Best for: People with overdeveloped masseters (not bone-related).
Pros: Non-surgical.
Cons: Temporary (lasts 3–6 months).

5. If Your Jaw is Too Wide​

Jaw Reduction (Mandibular Angle Reduction Surgery) – Shaves off part of the jawbone to narrow the lower face.

Best for: Naturally wide or square jaws.
Pros: Permanent reshaping.
Cons: Risk of over-reduction leading to weak-looking jaw.

Masseter Botox – Shrinks the jaw muscles.

Best for: Jaw width caused by large muscles, not bone.
Pros: Non-invasive, no downtime.
Cons: Temporary, needs redoing every few months.

6. If You Have Facial Asymmetry (One Side Looks Different)​

Asymmetric Genioplasty – Adjusts the chin to align with facial symmetry.
Asymmetric Jaw Surgery (BSSO One-Sided Advancement/Setback) – Moves one side of the jaw differently from the other.
Facial Fat Grafting – Adds volume to the weaker side.
Masseter Botox (One Side Only) – Shrinks a larger masseter muscle for balance.

7. If You Have a Long Midface (Excessive Vertical Growth)​

LeFort 1 Maxillary Impaction – Moves the upper jaw higher to shorten the lower third.

Best for: Long midface + gummy smile.
Pros: Creates better proportions.
Cons: Major surgery.

Sliding Genioplasty (Vertical Reduction) – Reduces chin height.

Best for: Long chin, but normal upper face.
Pros: Fixes lower face imbalance.

8. If You Have a Receded Midface + Lower Third Issues​

Bimaxillary Advancement (Bimax Surgery) – Moves both upper and lower jaws forward.

Best for: Flat midface + weak jaw.
Pros: Full facial balance.
Cons: Big surgery, requires braces.

Maxillary Advancement + Genioplasty – Moves upper jaw forward while also enhancing the chin.

Best for: Midface deficiency + small chin.

TLDR​

Failo	Best Surgery
Recessed Chin	Sliding Genioplasty, Chin Implant
Overprojected Chin	Chin Reduction Genioplasty, Shaving
Weak Jaw	BSSO Advancement, Jaw Implants
Poor Definition	Jawline Lipo, Buccal Fat Removal, Masseter Botox
Wide Jaw	Mandibular Reduction, Masseter Botox
Asymmetry	Asymmetric Genioplasty/Jaw Surgery
Long Midface	LeFort 1 Impaction, Vertical Chin Reduction
Recessed Midface & Jaw	Bimax Surgery
