Does this look like scleroderma? What procedures can correct this deformity? (photos)

November 10, 2023
Asked By:ANDIEKV in Jackson Township, New Jersey

Over 20 years ago, my doctor inserted a chin implant, while I was also undergoing rhinoplasty. However, my whole chin is starting to look deformed. My blood tests came back as uncertain for scleroderma, in addition to similar diseases. What procedures could correct this deformity? Thank you for your time.
