5 years ago I had a chin implant placed. A large silicone anatomical implant. It now makes my face oddly longer, sunken, and my chin from the front view is weak and pulled in. Now, my top lip is disappearing. My philtrum distance is long. I think I am experiencing bone resolution… I just don’t know where to start and it’s making me suffer mentally. I just want a balanced chin and lower face. What do I do? Anything other than jaw surgery? Taking out the implant will make me even MORE recessed.

Answer: Changes in the face related to chin implant Without before and good after photos it would be very difficult to comment on your results. While chin implant affects the chin, lower jaw and possibly lower lip, it will not affect your upper lip and nose. It would be in your best interest to have in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon(s) with known expertise in chin augmentation and discuss these issues. A set of preoperative photos should be available for a consultation. Good luck.

Answer: Upper lip, lower chin submental Based on your series of nice posted photos, I see an acceptable chin implant result with under chin or submental fat and the upper lip zone It’s not related to the chin implant. Your upper lip zone is in long gated and a thinning of the red mucus of the upper lip. Recommendation would be Simental liposuction with possible mini neck Lyft to tighten the tissue under the jawline chin, upper lip lift, HA fillers to upper lip mucosa. Fee range from $8000-$15,000. Best virtual consult with.
