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?
