What caused my crooked lip after chin implant? (Photo)

September 20, 2024
Asked By:qtm21 in Plano, Texas

I had a chin implant placed in the mouth about a year ago, and its caused my lower lip to be crooked slightly to the right accompanied by slight numbness or a "stiff" feeling on the same lower right side. Left is completely fine. I can force my muscles to have it appear normal, but when im completed relaxed it is noticeable. Will removing or replacing it fix the problem?

Based on your photos, you appear to have a bit of a low nasal bridge appearance in the upper 1/3 of your nose. If this is what's bothering you, microdroplet Silikon-1000 nasal injections maybe considered for achieving a straighter and more masculine nasal profile appearance. I hope this helps!...

Can lenghten the distance between lower lip and the chin tip?
Mats Hagstrom, MD (license on probation) says:
