Hi doctors, I am looking for any information about how to fix the asymmetry of my mouth and size of my chin after implant removal. It was placed through the gums but was too large/ill fitting for my features originally so I had the implant removed but my chin projection is still too forward for my liking, almost as if the implant was still there. I have also noticed a strange asymmetry to my lips and mouth especially when animated or smiling. Feeling hopeless :( any info is a big help
Hi, The disease is not advanced but there are pockets and gum recession. If it progresses sometime at later stage, is chin implant suitable for that candidate? If someone loses the front lower teeth, will it affect chin implant in any way? Because the bone loss is possible after tooth loss. Thanks
I received a large silastic chin implant and I've been numb on the lower right lip and chin ever since. I don't feel any tingling unless I pucker my lips like a kissy face, and even then it's faint. I can feel the implant through my gums (there's a ridge there underneath my molars). My PS says it's my own bone, but I don't think so. I also feel discomfort and mild pain when I talk a lot on the right side. For doctors here, has removing the implant improved these symptoms for past patients?
The left side of my face is not swollen at all, but the right side is a bit more swollen. I can feel the wing of the implant through my gums. There is a constant sharp pain just underneath my lip. If I touch it, there is a burning sensation the rushes through my chin and lip. I can feel the implant and i know it is riding a bit high but will this hinder my nerve from repairing? I don't want to get another surgery. Will this hinder sensation in my lips in the long run?10 days post, extraorally
I got a medium chin implant with wings 4 days ago placed through an external incision and secured with sutures. I was considering going up a size because my doctor recommended a large, but I was too hesitant. I notice a lack of projection, it really made almost no difference, but my gums are hurting. The bottom set right in the front. Does this mean Im at my maximum size for an implant? Is something wrong? Follow up appt next week, would like other docs input before I go. Thanks
Really, I can't really tell if my chin is still slightly recessive or not, and I was wondering if I should exchange my implant for a larger one. What I really want to get rid of is this shadow/outline that my gums create. If I got a larger implant, would it get rid of this? Thanks in advance for all of your help.
last year i had a intramural chin implant removed. Since then, the inside of my bottom lip sticks to my bottom gum. The best way i can describe it is if you imagine a large sticky gummy bear stuck on the inside of your mouth and you can't remove it. It feels gross! The mentalis muscle feels extremely tight and i can't close my mouth. I have dimples on my chin as well Is there anything that can be done for these problems? thankyou very much
