Hey guys, I'm still looking for a good sliding genio doc down here in Hollywood, I'd be grateful for any suggestions you've got. Thanks!

Really? No one on this board is in the greater Los Angeles area?

You're in Hollywood - plastic surgery capital of the world. If you are doing it for aesthetic reasons, then I would start with a plastic surgeon. He will definitely examine your occlusion and refer you to an orthodontist if you need it.

I initially sought out having a genioplasty and contacted a plastic surgeon's office because I was a bit nervous about having my jaw split apart. The first question the nurse asked over the phone was if my bite was normal or not. I told them my bite was off and she suggested I see an OMFS.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the response streo.

I don't need my jaws split apart, my bite is fine. Just want the geniplasty. I always assumed I'd need a plastic surgeon. But living in the plastic surgery capital of the world means it can be harder to find someone, not easier, if only 'cause there are so many choices. I figured at least one person on this forum would have a recommendation for a surgeon in the Hollywood area. Guess I'm the only one from So Cal on these boards.
