Is my chin implant displaced? (Photo)

Enthusiastic971220Nov 5, 2022

I’m a 38 year old female, 130lbs and 5’4. I had a chin implant 5 years ago after double jaw surgery. Since then my lower lip hangs low below my incisors. I went to a doctor and he said my chin implant is displaced and pulling my lower lip. He recommended a new one and said my lip will no longer hang down if it’s placed properly. Do you agree?

Genioplasty revisions can be done. Not sure when the original procedure was done, but once the bone has healed back up, it is safe to go back in and make adjustment. I would also consider jawline contouring to reduce those bony prominences to create a more unified transition.

Thank you for your question and for providing photos. Since your chin doesn’t appear to be recessed, a chin implant is unlikely to provide the improvement you’re looking for. When properly administered, Botox is a reliable solution for treating chin ptosis and should affect lip movement. Sin...

The appearance of the implant on the CT seems to be high. Generally, chin implants should be positioned on the lowest part of the chin. Greater projection of the chin would be achieved with the implant in an inferior position. The implant can be repositioned.

Hello and thank you for your question. A formal evaluation would be needed to determine the best treatment. For a more defined jawline to strengthen your profile (and help prevent the dreaded jawline "jowl" sagging), we use injectable fillers like Revanesse Versa - a filler known to limit...
