Has anyone ever successfully resuspended the mentalis muscle to correct chin ptosis? (Photo)

Asked By:realself256 in New York, NY

I cannot find one single person who has had success with it. I had tried having my mentalis resuspended with my original surgeon and it was a failure, so I don't know if his technique was the problem or this procedure is just useless. In the age of face transplants, is it seriously the case that I now have to live the rest of my life disfigured from a complication I was never aware of in the first place?
