I had a chin implant 12 months ago. I cant see my teeth when I smile and I have to open my mouth to look normal in photos. Also noticed dynamic chin ptosis have developed. I have pain on the right side of my implant, which was treated for 5 weeks with antibiotics, with no success. If the implant is removed, will my smile return to normal and the pain go away? Ive also developed dynamic chin ptosis. Will that subside after removal as well?
i have similar condition as this pic , i have well developed maxilla and under developed mandible jaw surgery can fix this but i have fine teeth, may be 3 mm overbite which can be corrected with braces. If i move my lower jaw 1 cm forward my face gets symmetry. i dont want chin implant because it does not fix my lips or my symmetry, jaw surgery will fix my droopy lips too. Is it possibe to get BSSO or IMDO or something to increase length of mandible when my teeth are fine. my chin tip is fine too.
My top front teeth rest on the inside of a deep labiomental fold. This bothered me. 4 days ago....I had a custom chin implant put in with the intent to reduce the labiomental fold and create more room for my top front teeth. Now I understand its new, and not even close to a final result (swelling etc), but my bottom lip has actually been pulled BACK creating LESS room for my teeth and actually making it hard to talk without my top front teeth getting in the way of my bottom lip. Thoughts?
So, Ive always disliked my profile, I dont know if its because of my chin or the dent between it and my lips, the jaw or the double chin going on under there. Over a year ago I had 2 upper teeth extracted in order to get braces (orthodontist said I had to). I currently have them on and supposed to be getting them off soon. Im not sure if that made my profile worse but it didnt improve it. Im ok with going the surgery route but dont know where to start... HELP?
When my face is resting it looks jowly & crooked, & from the side it looks like I have a double/receding chin. Just got braces off, no overbite but teeth are shorter on one side possibly causing the misaligned look of the jaw. When I jut my chin out and give myself an overbite, my face looks amazing. Defined jawline, less jowly, less fat, and less round. THAT'S what I want. Can I get it without (intense) surgery? Please help!
I am wondering if a chin implant would work for me to help improve my side profile. I have never liked my mouth, it's large and I have large teeth and lips to go with it. I hate the pads under my lips and how they seem to stick out. I also am unable to close my mouth all the way when relaxed. Would a chin implant help fix this? Is there other options, better options maybe? Should I even just leave well enough alone? Thoughts appreciated!
I had a chin implant placed 4 weeks ago and still have tightness around the chin area. I had tingling sensations around my teeth during the recovery and fear that it may be causing pressure/pulling on my gums. Can chin implants cause damage to these structures early on? Most of the tingling sensations have subsided in the teeth; however, I am still paranoid with the pulling sensation. Is this something that I should be worried about?
I had a large chin implant placed 7 weeks ago. It was placed rather high. I haven't been able to feel my left lower central incisor since the surgery. I mentioned this to my surgeon a couple weeks ago. He tested the sensation in my chin and jaw, and said he could feel the entire mentalis nerve and that I would make a complete recovery. Is this common, and how long will it take to regain sensation? It feels like a novacane injection that never wears off.
