I had a genioplasty done 11 yrs ago. My face looked better up to a year when my face was still swollen. It gave me more volume and balanced my face a little better. I'm looking to have this done within the next 2-3 months. I have 3 questions: -Is it possible to get a chin implant through the inside of the mouth after a genioplasty? - Can a chin implant create more volume, and fix the asymmetry from my left and right side? -Can an implant make my face look like the app pic from the front?

A chin implant would help your projection. If you want to defeminize your face then you would benefit from a rhinoplasty. Your nasolabial lip angle is too great, it should be at 90 degrees for men.

Yes it can happen with implants. If it bothers you enough or cause issues in the future, I suggest removal of the implant and doing genioplasty, which is a more permanent result and won't have this sort of implant issues. over the long term, if the movement don't settle down, you might run into...
