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

March 22, 2022
Asked By:sadeem10 in Independence, Kansas

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?
