SLIDING GENIOPLASTY AT 16 (BEFORE AND AFTER PROFILE PICS)

[Mikhail.]

Hey guy, was planning to do regular updates after my surgery but got kinda lazy so here I am making a full breakdown now that the main swelling is gone.

Basically I'm 16 and I got an osseous sliding genioplasty back on February 6, 2026 at a private clinic. Ever since I was a kid I had a pretty recessed profile, trash cervical posture, and my face was asymmetrical as hell (zygo, mandible, and ramus were visibly less developed on one side, probably influenced by an old congenital ptosis I got surgically fixed a while ago).

BEFORE - August 13, 2024


The main goal of the genioplasty was obviously chin projection, fixing the lower third recession and giving that forward growth look. It was done intraorally (cut inside the mouth, plates + screws to fix the bone). No major complications.

Here are my pre-op photos :

RECOVERY & SIDE EFFECTS:

Day 1 to 7 :
Initial bloat was insane, lower face completely swollen. Liquid diet only, couldn't chew shit. Got hit with crazy nighttime acid reflux (stomach pain, nausea, hypersalivation) from the sudden diet shift, stress, and whey protein. Managed it with Esomeprazole and Gaviscon. Off painkillers almost instantly. Was lowkey paranoid the compression bandages were ruining the chin's roundness.

Day 7 to 14 :
Moved to soft foods (eggs, soft noodles, fish). Pure overthinking phase—constantly worrying about dissolvable stitches, mouthwashes, minor bleeding, and limited jaw opening. Took the wraps off around day 10-12. Bandages left a stubborn white glue residue in my beard, but soaking it in castor and olive oil stripped it right off.

Day 14 to 22 :
Projection looked elite at first, but then the edema migrated right under my chin/upper neck. Despite low body fat, it gave me a brutal temporary "double chin" illusion, nuked my hollow cheeks, and made my face look wide as fuck. The bloat fluctuated (insanely puffy in the morning, draining slowly during the day) with some slight asymmetry and a soft spot on my lower right lip. Posture relapsed hard too since I stopped neck training, making the submental bloat look worse. Restarted light chin tucks around day 21.

RESULTS (April / May 2026):

​

The main surgical edema has completely melted away now and the submental area leaned out perfectly.

• The chin projection is now perfect imo.
• My side profile is infinitely more balanced.
• I might have more forward growth from the mandible, we'll see over time.
  

I'm 17 now so I know I might get a bit more natural mandibular growth until I'm 19-20, but the ROI from this surgery is massive (Even though forward growth could be better). Right now I'm just focusing on locking in my neck posture (chin tucks / neck curls) to give the new bone structure the frame it deserves.

[hoodsiickle]

They give genios at 16?

 

[Y30p]

They give genios at 16?

thats what i was thinking

 

[Mikhail.]

They give genios at 16?

Yes, because for most people, a large part of the chin forms during pre-adolescence.

Yes, because for most people, a large part of the chin forms during pre-adolescence.

At least that's the case in France.

Thanks man, 4,500 euros for everything, and no need for an orthodontist because you're not touching your occlusion.

Did you seriously just go to a surgical clinic and ask them to do this for you?

What did your parents say?

And how awful was recovery?

yeah, basically I just booked a consultation with a pretty good maxillofacial surgeon in France and got the X-rays done. Since my skeletal maturity was already stable at 16, he gave me the green light right away. my parents were totally on board and signed the consent form because they acknowledge that I'm a chinlet.
the recovery was pure hell for the first two weeks: massive bloating, liquid diet. the worst part was the mental aspect in week 3 when the edema migrated to my submental area under my chin, creating a sort of fake double chin, but now after two months it's all gone. it was 100% worth it.

 

[hyhxhxxh]

chad. actual hardmaxxer. mirin parents

 

[stigmaboy]

@Menas

solid breakdown, fr. the sliding genio definitely carried the profile. main failo pre-op was the lower third recession, which is obviously fixed.

the temporary submental bloat you described is pretty standard, especially with that much bone movement. it's wild how edema can totally change perception even after the main swelling is down.

good call on the neck posture work now. gotta frame the new bone structure properly, especially if there's any residual mandibular growth coming. roi looks strong here.

amazing result for a genioplasty, my nigga. pretend do other surgery?

 

[Viriato_catholic]

you've become a different person, I bet everyone treats you 10x better

 

[Mikhail.]

How many MM

8

 

[Mikhail.]

Nice. How’d they end up giving it so young though and did your parents pay for it?

Strangely enough, in France my surgeon was performing genioplasties on 12-year-olds. I even financed the entire operation myself.

 

[Mikhail.]

Incroyable le resultat, je vais faire la meme. Je vais essayer de faire prendre en charge la secu en simulant une apnee du sommeil.

C'est très compliqué, alors ne te contente pas de voir quelques orthod ; rencontre en plusieurs, car même moi, j'ai essayé et rien n'a fonctionné. De plus, tu risque de te retrouver avec une bimax qui n'est même pas conçu pour l'esthétique, mais plutôt pour la fonctionnalité, donc ça n'en vaut pas vraiment la peine. Si tu veux fais une Genio + implant en france ; je pense que c'est la meilleure option.

 

[Mikhail.]

Not at the moment. I'm planning to go to Turkey next year, so maybe I'll have a minor procedure done, like removing facial fat or something. I'll see.

 

[Mikhail.]

you've become a different person, I bet everyone treats you 10x better

Yes and no. I was already physically imposing and felt charismatic despite my disastrous side. However, I get a lot more stares, and they're more intense, so most definitely yes. I even had a girlfriend for the first time two months after the genioplasty. Coincidence? Maybe.

Regarde mon dernier post, pour mon cas une bimax est quasi obligatoire objectivement. Mais comme tu as dit, voir un chirurgien classique ça sera pas pour l’esthétique. En gros j’ai deux choix : soit je peux faire une bimax en ccw bien propre soit je peux pas et je fait une genio 8mm + implant pour mes nasio liabials folds. En tout cas je suis grave heureux pour toi bro

Hey guy, was planning to do regular updates after my surgery but got kinda lazy so here I am making a full breakdown now that the main swelling is gone.

Basically I'm 16 and I got an osseous sliding genioplasty back on February 6, 2026 at a private clinic. Ever since I was a kid I had a pretty recessed profile, trash cervical posture, and my face was asymmetrical as hell (zygo, mandible, and ramus were visibly less developed on one side, probably influenced by an old congenital ptosis I got surgically fixed a while ago).

The main goal of the genioplasty was obviously chin projection, fixing the lower third recession and giving that forward growth look. It was done intraorally (cut inside the mouth, plates + screws to fix the bone). No major complications.

Here are my pre-op photos :

RECOVERY & SIDE EFFECTS:

Day 1 to 7 :
Initial bloat was insane, lower face completely swollen. Liquid diet only, couldn't chew shit. Got hit with crazy nighttime acid reflux (stomach pain, nausea, hypersalivation) from the sudden diet shift, stress, and whey protein. Managed it with Esomeprazole and Gaviscon. Off painkillers almost instantly. Was lowkey paranoid the compression bandages were ruining the chin's roundness.

Day 7 to 14 :
Moved to soft foods (eggs, soft noodles, fish). Pure overthinking phase—constantly worrying about dissolvable stitches, mouthwashes, minor bleeding, and limited jaw opening. Took the wraps off around day 10-12. Bandages left a stubborn white glue residue in my beard, but soaking it in castor and olive oil stripped it right off.

Day 14 to 22 :
Projection looked elite at first, but then the edema migrated right under my chin/upper neck. Despite low body fat, it gave me a brutal temporary "double chin" illusion, nuked my hollow cheeks, and made my face look wide as fuck. The bloat fluctuated (insanely puffy in the morning, draining slowly during the day) with some slight asymmetry and a soft spot on my lower right lip. Posture relapsed hard too since I stopped neck training, making the submental bloat look worse. Restarted light chin tucks around day 21.

RESULTS (April / May 2026):

Here is how the profile is looking today:

The main surgical edema has completely melted away now and the submental area leaned out perfectly.

• The chin projection is now perfect imo.
• My side profile is infinitely more balanced.
• I might have more forward growth from the mandible, we'll see over time.

I'm 17 now so I know I might get a bit more natural mandibular growth until I'm 19-20, but the ROI from this surgery is massive (Even though forward growth could be better). Right now I'm just focusing on locking in my neck posture (chin tucks / neck curls) to give the new bone structure the frame it deserves.


Drop any questions below if you want to know about the surgical process, post-op diet management, or with the swelling phases.

How’d you afford at 16?

It truly is perfect. Kinda shocked you got one at your age how did that process even work with your parents having guardianship over you?

 

[krieg]

Genuinely shocked you got approved at that age

Regarde mon dernier post, pour mon cas une bimax est quasi obligatoire objectivement. Mais comme tu as dit, voir un chirurgien classique ça sera pas pour l’esthétique. En gros j’ai deux choix : soit je peux faire une bimax en ccw bien propre soit je peux pas et je fait une genio 8mm + implant pour mes nasio liabials folds. En tout cas je suis grave heureux pour toi bro

merci bro, bonne chance a toi !

My mother agreed, and in any case, I was the one who paid. especially since she had to accept it over time; it takes time before getting surgery, and she had always noticed my sidelet.

Yes, in France it seems to be different, but that's great for me

 

[jlim]

what did you tell your parents? cool transformation tho

 

[foresthills]

how did you know you were a good genioplasty candidate,
what i mean is, howd you know there was no underlying skeletal malocclusion or any other issues? was there an x-ray during the consultation? did you see an ortho?
