Chin ptosis and lip incompetency after chin implant removal. Is mentalis muscle resuspension an option? (Photo)

sadeem10Mar 22, 2022
My chin was originally small and narrow but it was feminine and defined. In 2014, I had a submental chin implant that made my chin huge so I removed it 9 months later. I developed a witch chin so I had a subemntal chin resection in 2018 to correct it.The balling was improved but my lower lip is now sunken, I have incisors show and mentalis strain. Is it possible that the mentalis was disturbed during these procedures even though non of them was intraoral? Can a mentalis muscle resuspension help?
