Filler to deep mental crease? (Photo)

Thank you for reaching out with your question about your unfortunate complication from the removal of a large jaw implant. It is understandable that you are experiencing a sagging lower lip and a deep mental crease, which could be attributed to a loss of support in your mentalis muscle. While you have had the muscle repaired a couple of times, you mentioned that the results only last for about 6 weeks before your lower lip reverts to its previous position.
Regarding your question about whether filling the deep crease could lead to an improvement in your condition, the answer is not entirely straightforward. Filling the deep crease with dermal fillers, such as hyaluronic acid-based fillers, could potentially help to restore some volume and structure to the area, thus reducing the appearance of the crease. However, it is important to note that this would not address the underlying cause of the problem, which is the loss of support in the mentalis muscle.
To address the root cause of your condition, it may be necessary to explore other treatment options such as muscle repositioning or fat grafting to provide more structural support to the area. These procedures can help to redistribute tissue and restore the natural contours of your face, potentially leading to a more sustainable improvement in your condition.
It is important to consult with a qualified and experienced dermatologist or plastic surgeon to determine the best course of action for your specific case. They will be able to assess your condition and recommend an appropriate treatment plan based on your individual needs and goals.
In conclusion, while filling the deep crease could provide some temporary improvement to your condition, it is important to address the underlying cause of your problem to achieve a more sustainable and long-lasting result. We wish you the best of luck in finding a treatment plan that works for you.

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Jawline and Chin contouring would significantly help your lower face contour. I would use these fillers in combination with Morpheus 8 to help improve the shape and resiliency of these areas.
