I had lower jaw surgery and genioplasty over a year ago to fix my overbite. My chin was moved 2mm down and 3mm forward Now I think I have dynamic chin ptosis and overall I’m not really happy with my facial balance. Would moving my chin bone back and down help balancing my face and possibly with chin ptosis? I know I need to lose some weight as well but in general would genioplasty help with the balance or is there anything I could do to fix my face?
