Jaw angle implant removal to correct masseter muscle detachment? (Photos)

February 4, 2022
Asked By:blisteredfate in Coles Corner, Washington

Hi. I am a 31 yr old Asian man that got a one piece "wrap around" jaw implant after badly placed bilateral jaw and chin implant. Unfortunately, previous surgery left me with both the masseter muscle detached or "off" the implant edge making the muscle noticeably bunch up every time I clench or chew. I already had 2 attempts to re anchor the muscle to the jaw implant edge but unfortunately didn't work unsure if 1) it's scarred up or 2) implant dimensions the muscle can't stretch and cover over?

Timothy Osborn, MD says:

The 1cm is the thickest part, so at the bottom. If you are going to go with implant, I would make sure it is done from under the chin, not through the mouth with a silicone implant. If it is through the mouth, it will ride up and keep your chin short. If done from the outside, you can more...
