About 1 and a half years ago I underwent a sliding genioplasty and had my chin advanced 10mm. I am unhappy with the results as I feel my chin looks too big and it is not symmetric. In addition I have indentations and lines on my chin that were never there before. Is there anything I can do to shape my chin differently (now that I feel it is too big) and take care of the asymmetry?
