1 year post jaw surgery. Lips don't seal and chin dimples, are there options that can help improve this? (photos)

Question

I had double jaw surgery in Dec. 2021 (3-piece Le Fort with BSSO and genioplasty), hardware removal in May (left jaw), and chin plate removal in August. My lips still don’t seal, my chin dimples when I force my lips closed, and it looks like I have a ball on my chin because of the deep labiomental fold. I recently became resistant to Botox and friends, so that’s not an option. I know the scar band is very tight and hard. Can this be improved or will I hide from mirrors and pics forever?

These are obviously results of surgery you had. Only on the basis of in person evaluation, an experienced, board certified plastic surgeon with extensive knowledge of maxillofacial procedures, may give you appropriate advise and plan of treatment. Good luck.
