Will swelling make chin look long after genioplasty?

Jans129Jan 9, 2024

How long does it take for swelling to resolve in chin after genioplasty? Also, will the swelling make it rather long? I am just worried. Also, will it change your lip volume and make them smaller? I had vertical augmentation with a horizontal advancement. I am a female and it was moved 5mm vertically and 7mm horizontally.

It is difficult to give you accurate advice from just a few photos. It appears that your cheeks are quite flat and may benefit from more convexity so cheek implants could be a consideration. The depth of the mentolabial fold is significant and this usually comes as a result of a short chin. A CT...

Unfortunately that genioplasty brought your chin out way too far and has stretched your skin and tissue. There are potential risks for skin laxity and ptosis.

Hello, Thank you for posting this. Your face is very well proportioned. There is a rule of lower facial thirds which says that in an attractive face, the distance between the nose and the mouth is half of that between the mouth and the chin. I would not recommend any surgery.
