Chin Ptosis after chin implant removal - can this be corrected? (Photo)

Question

Hi I am a 26 y/o female who had a chin implant placed in November of 2020 along with chin liposuction. I had it on for a full year and had it removed November 2021 because it changed my smile and was unhappy with it. Now it has been 9 months since I got the implant removed and I am worried about chin ptosis. When I smile my chin sags/hangs and droops down. It looks normal when my face is relaxed. Can this be corrected? I posted pictures. Thanks in advance.

Dynamic chin ptosis is a difficult problem to correct. Since the problem is worse when you smile I would recommend botox injections. A permanent solution sometimes involves a chin tuck procedure and/or chin pad elevation and re-suspension with endotines.

Hello. I am sorry, but your surgery was not planned and performed correctly. Normally, no chin implant changes or distorts the smile. In addition, after the implant is removed, fibrosis under your chin is overdeveloped and buckle has developed and there is also some chin ptosis. Therefore, the only rescue procedure that can be done for you is a correctly planned chin implant and submentoplasty surgery. However, you have a very dense and fatty neck area, so you may need a small neck lift. I’m the only triple board-certified facial plastic surgeon all around Europe. I’m just focused on this issue. I am a doctor who goes to almost every country in the world and explains my techniques to important doctors with the seminar invitations I receive, so I am definitely the only doctor who can perform your operation very comfortably and successfully. You can get more detailed information about me, ask all questions about your case and sending your photos to my assistants at the number on my profile (+90 539 204 40 90). You can also book an online consultation and discuss your problems with me. With all respect.
