I got my chin implant on December 22 2018. Since the beginning I noticed that the wings were below the jaw line. My surgeon sait it was because of the inflammation. Inflammation is now gone and the wings more visible. Three weeks ago he said it was fibrosis which I still have a little below my chin but not on the sides. A week ago he didn't mention the fibrosis but said it will look better in time. Will the wings move upwards at least to the jaw line? I love the projection, not loving the lump.

It would be fair to say that the recovery from a tummy tuck far exceeds that of a sliding genioplasty n many levels. It is not that relevant to compare a body procedure to facial one as there are many aspects of each that are completely different and not comparable.
A chin implant will not interfere with the teeth and can help you achieve a more defined jawline. As long as you have discussed the disease with your board certified plastic surgeon and you are given the okay, you are still a candidate for the procedure.
