Drooping muscle/skin after sliding genioplasty?

January 23, 2015
Asked By:vrina in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

The muscle and skin on my chin is drooping passed the chin/jawline. It is very obvious, asymmetric and distressing. Does this mean tendon was mistakenly cut between the muscle and bone at the bottom of my chin? Are there any sure-fire ways to correct this? Why would scar tissue form to adhere the muscle to the bone in another surgery?
