Ptosis after chin implant: fat injections or botox? (Photo)

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Your chin is quite pointed with a deep labiomental angle. In some ways the chin implant made this worse and created a slight witches chin. Perhaps a better procedure would have been a jaw advancement.

I don’t think it was the tip of your chin that needed augmentation but rather the body of the mandible itself was small.

Attempts of fat removal will only cause problems and will not fix your concern.

You can try Botox but it’s important for providers to know the anatomy and which muscle is causing the soft tissue of your chin to be depressed when making facial expressions.

If you want to take a more formal approach then have a few consultations with local oral surgeons or plastic surgeons with cranial facial surgery backgrounds.

I question if you were an ideal candidates for a Chin implant.

Best,

It may be a good idea to get an xray of the position of the implant since that may be influencing the contours you see.
