Will a Revision to reverse my chin augmentation cause skin sagging?

Affectionate433728Jan 19, 2022
Hello, about 1,5 Years ago I had a full chin wing surgery to advance my chin about 4mm. I’m unhappy with the results for several reasons and I would like to completely reverse it by the full 4mm, to get my old face/lower jaw back. My biggest fear is that this will cause additional skin sagging in the submental / lower jaw area, more than there was before the surgery. Is this true? I had heard this could be the case for reverse genioplasty surgerys. I am 27, in case this matters.

You are a candidate for a genioplasty. Moving your chin forward and down would add projection to your chin, balancing out your profile. It would also add length and definition to your jawline. With that, you may find you do not need a rhinoplasty since your profile will be more harmonized. Our...

Thanks for your question. It's hard to tell from one photo that you've provided but a rhinoplasty alone can make your face more feminine. It can be combined with a chin or jaw implant to make the face more like V shape. But it'd be great if you could provide more photos for an assessment. I'd...

Hello jkarpins1, resorbable plates have become relatively common for craniofacial and orthognathic surgery, especially in pediatric patients. There are several descriptions of using these types of plates for genioplasty. This may be a good alternative for you given your allergy to titanium....
