I have performed hundreds of these cases and have never had a patient experience difficulty speeking after jaw/chin liposuction.Consult with your surgeon and if not satisfied seek a second opinion from a Board Certified Plastic SurgeonBest wishes

I have never seen changes to the teeth or speech after one of these procedures.  However, he may be holding your chin or jaw in a certain position due to swelling or discomfort.  He may also have some impaired lip movement from the procedure which certainly can happen and is normally temporary.  Follow up with your surgeon and if need be you can see your dentist

What does the operative surgeon tell you about these issues?? I might seek second opinions from other PSs in your area.//
