Given the rarity of this issue & the preponderance of its treatment with Botox (which I'm uninterested in due to its temporary nature) locating a surgeon who has experience/success surgically altering this muscle to fix a purely aesthetic hang up hasn't been easy. It was explained to me the procedure entails partially transecting the mentalis muscle, resulting in a "normal" un-dimpled chin. How would I locate a surgeon qualified for said procedure who has enjoyed consistent success in doing so?

A sliding genioplasty would be the best option in this case due to 2 significant jaw underdevelopment. A chin implant will simply not be adequate enough augmentation.
Thank you for your question. Swelling will prevent you from seeing the outcome and you should wait at least 3-4 weeks before evaluating how things will look. At the 3-4 month time period, not a lot of change will occur after that. Just be patient for a while. I hope this helps.
Thank you for your question. This is a question for your surgeon as they are aware of what was done and how much hardware was used. You could also explore other options addressing the chin alone. You might consider another opinion from a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and explore...
