Chin implant and at-home microcurrent device?

C
corinndafulAug 1, 2024

I purchased an at-home microcurrent device to help alivate some skin laxity issues in my neck and jaw. I had a genioplasty procedure done over 4 years ago and wanted to know if there would be any issues using my micro current device on my jawline/over my implant. Thank you!

You can tell that both your maxilla and mandible (upper and lower jaws) are a little recessed/weak because of the overjet of your teeth. I'm guessing you had orthodontic work at some point to do that to try to get all your teeth in alignment instead of expanding the jaw. Nonetheless, there's...
