How Can A Vertical Lengthening Bony Genioplasty Be Combined With A Custom Jawline Implant?

Q: Dr. Eppley, you hav suggested vertical lengthening genioplasty and a custom implant for my desired jaw augmentation effects. If the 3D custom implant is made based on my current anatomy (i.e. before the genioplasty), how will that work to enhance the chin? Especially for symmetry and shape. 

A: The vertical lengthening bony genioplasty movement is simulated on the 3D scan and then the jawline implant is built around it.
