Will swelling make chin look long after genioplasty?

January 9, 2024
Asked By:Jans129 in New York, New York

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.

Michael P. Morrissette, DDS, FACS says:

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...
