i was wondering if anyone has a similar experience to me which is downturned lips and also asymmetrical because one side (lip corner and chin) is saggier and more recessed. i have tried chin filler and some botox; however, i did not like how i looked, altho it may be due to my injector. i don't have much experience when it comes to plastic surgery. i am interested in getting a genioplasty or chin implant. i would really appreciate any input or advice as to whether or not a genioplasty/chin
