Can threads or other methods help with chin pad correction if some of the retaining ligaments have been released?

Question

I have som facial trauma from a prior chin surgery where some of the retaining ligaments on the front right side were released. Now the chin pad on that side has lost its forward/ downward pull, making it look very off. It seems that it isn't possible to restore the ligaments, but I am wondering if it is possible to get some improvement with threads or other suture techniques? I am planning to have a custom chin implant to help even it out., but still wonder about repositioning the chin pad.

Hello. Thanks for sharing your case. I will definitely say is something to think about as an non surgical option since PDO threads are build to carry fat pads and flaccid tissue, as you wrote, you will be acceptable to a customized MINT PDO threads for each side of the face in case you want to even both sides. That may take different approaches on both sides. Usually its a 2 week full recovery and it may last aboyt 8-10 months at least. To get a better result your doctor may do it in a couple of sessions. Don’t forget to go with an experienced physician to have customized and better results. Best luck.
