I regret having genioplasty and I want to reverse it. Will my soft tissue sag if I do it? (Photo)

Question

I had my genioplasty 13 days ago and I hate the way my face looks now. My lower lip is smaller than it used to and my chin looks too long now. I know it’s still swollen but the more I see it the less I like it. Right now I can barely smile but I know that when I recover my smile it will look too long. I want to reverse it I am worried, what if my soft tissues never go back to normal and they become soggy since the Dr moved my chin 7mm. What are the dangers of a revision genioplasty so soon?

First, the genioplasty can be reversed but I would recommend against it. Your results are exceptional when I compare the before and after photos. Your face is not longer but it appears that way because you were so deficient horizontally. Your facial balance is good and your lip will return to normal with more time. I understand your concerns but I would give it more time.

Hi. The final result of your surgery will be around 6 months after the procedure. You should wait in order to evaluate if you like it or not. My other advice is to rely upon the concept of your surgeon. He/she will give you support while the healing shows the end result
