I have a crooked chin after genioplasty. Would burring be a good option? (Photo)

April 18, 2014
Asked By:sophierose in Los Angeles, CA

I had a genioplasty with upper jaw surgery. It reduced my chin 4 mm horizontally. It was immediately apparent after surgery that it was asymmetrical; excess bone juts out on the left side & juts in under the tongue area on the right. The result after swelling subsided is an entire chin that is off to the left. A still picture does not do it justice. I would really like to fix this asymmetry. I also would like to shape and reduce my chin vertically a bit. Would burring be a good option?
