I had a chin implant put in 2 1/2 years ago and removed 3 months later because it had shifted and was causing me a lot of discomfort. there is residual nerve damage(pain, feelings of coldness, burning) At this point, is it possible that my nerve will fully recover? if not, is there a procedure to numb the nerve (i have noted relief during dental procedures when the nerve is numbed). Will it be risky to replace at this point? I have ptosis now and am not happy with the droop.
If you still have symptoms 2.5 years out from a chin implant, it is likely that you have some mental nerve damage. There might be a procedure that could be done to block the nerve long term and I would see a pain specialist in your area for that possibility. As far as replacing the chin implant, it is possible to do it now but it could potentially aggravate your nerve condition.
I was wondering if the fact that my lower lip frenulum is gone after having a chin implant placed intraorally accounts for the problems I have with chewing, speaking and smiling almost a month after surgery... and if so, might my frenulum grow back?
It is not uncommon to have disruption of the frenulum after a chin implant. As far as regrowth, that is unlikely. If you are concerned I would address this with your surgeon but you should have no long term ill effects that I am aware of.
I have a very round, "moon" face with little definition and bone structure. I was wondering if jaw implants would help give more definition and help give my lower face a more v-shape by giving my mandible angle more projection and then have the rest of my face taper in. If so, what type of jaw implant would you recommend and what is the average price range for such a surgery? Thanks!
Hi there-
Without a consultation and examination, it is not possible to responsibly answer your question.
I can tell you that it is possible to improve the mandibular profile using jaw implants. We have also had success achieving patient's goals for an improved profile with Radiesse injections, which can last up to two years without surgery.
