X-ray analysis (IQmaxxers GTFIH)

[DefinitelyNT]

I have a recessed chin which I'm looking to get fixed. I've had some x-rays done and it seems to be mainly a chin-bone issue, according to my surgeon at least. But I'm wondering if it might actually be a recessed lower jaw problem, in which case genioplasty could just be covering up a bigger deficiency. Anyone able to confirm from the attached x-ray what the actual cause of recession is? I trust the guy I've picked but always good to get second opinions from such a well educated group of upstanding citizens.

My surgeon was very confident it's not a lack of soft tissue either, so it's definitely a bone thing I'm just not 100% sure where. Keep in mind my head was tucked back for the machine to take the pic. Sorry for the average quality btw, they only gave me a physical copy will have to chase them up for digital.

And yes I am aware I will probably have to get my subhuman wisdom teeth removed.

im doing dentist degree rn and i can say that you have a pretty good mandible, the problem is all in your chin actually.
just go ahead with the genio, 5mm might be enough.
also dont extract teeth unless it hurts or you have bad mouth hygiene.

Legend, thanks. Counting down the days now. And interesting comment on the teeth, I would've thought I should pre-empt any issues, but overall they don't hurt and I take good care of them so I'll hold out for now.
