Procedure options to fix active chin ptosis? How complicated is it? Chin implant 3 years ago. (photos)

I had a chin implant done 3 yes ago. When I’m not smiling my chin looks fine but when I smile I have chin ptosis (I think it’s specifically called dynamic chin ptosis). I was wondering what’s the procedure to fix this and how complicated is it? Also, how do I find a surgeon who specializes in this? I feel like it’s not a very common procedure surgeons advertise doing.

Depending on circumstances, you may even qualify for jaw surgery. You have asymmetry in your jaw, along with chin ptosis. It also appears that you may still have issues closing your mouth? Do you have any difficulty eating or sleeping? How is your bite/do your teeth align well? I would suggest...
