Chin implant did not improve - what are my revision options?

Question

I had a chin implant placed to improve my profile which it does at rest. However I have a strong ptotic chin that still hits down considerably. What are my options for revision?

Hello ! Thank you for your question To be honest, I think the result of the surgery is good. You don't need revision surgery. You can only filler the gaps.
Thank you ! regards

Unfortunately it is very difficult to change dynamic movement such as muscular contraction. You may have a very active Mentalis muscle. I would recommend trying some Botox in this muscle.

Hello. In my opinion, your implant was not placed correctly and the right implant was not chosen. Your muscle connections are also not stitched correctly. Therefore, you are experiencing this problem. The jaw implant is not to blame here, when these plans are done well, you can get the beautiful appearance you want. 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.

Dear 7Ali93p5r0, 
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

It is very difficult to answer your question without in person evaluation. Several options are available including liposuction of the submental area, resection of the redundant skin, combination of the two, chin lift. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with expertise in choin implants is recommended. Good luck.
