Sliding genioplasty with hyperactive mentalis - Will an implant cause bone erosion? (photo)

November 17, 2022
Asked By:Jess0991 in England, United Kingdom

I am not happy with my profile, I feel that my chin is rather recessed creating an imbalanced look. I have been researching both chin implants and sliding genioplasty. I have a hyperactive mentalis muscle that I currently get treated with bocouture. My question is with the hyperactive mentalis muscle could a chin implant cause bone erosion? And would a sliding genioplasty be a better option for me? Also also would I still need to treat my chin with botox after either surgery? Thank you
