I plan to have Rhinoplasty and Chin Redution surgery together but I am hesitant as I read that these surgeries may lead facial paralysis? How true is it?

Answer: Nerve damage with chin implant Yes this is true but fortunately rare. Liposuction is commonly performed in combination with the chin implant. This can cause trauma to the marginal mandibular branch of the facial nerve which can lead to facial weakness. However, injury to the sensory nerve is the more common problem becuase the nerve is located immediately next to the tail of the implant

Answer: Nerve damage with Chin and Nose Surgery Sensory, rather than motor nerves are more likely to be injured during chin reduction surgery. This may lead to numbness of 1/2 or the entire lower lip. As for rhinoplsty, a small amount of numbness can occur at the tip, but this usually returns to normal after several months
