Am I likely to get permanent numbness on my chin if I had this with a previous procedure?

Question

I had a breast reduction of 2 cup sizes four years ago and permanently lost sensation in my nipples. I am planning on getting a sliding genioplasty (around 5 mm forward and 5 mm down--does that look realistic?) and am worried about the chance of having permanent numbness in my lips, which I would hate. Is there a percentage?

Jeffrey H. Spiegel, MD · Answer

Loss of nipple sensation after breast reduction and risk of numbness after chin surgery are very likely unrelated to each other so you shouldn't necessarily have a higher risk of numbness in the lips.
We do chin surgery 3-5 times a week and have had zero people with permanent numbness so it should be fine.
