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

Question

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?

Michael P. Morrissette, DDS, FACS · Answer

One of the problems with chin implants is migration or malposition. I would recommend a CT scan to evaluate the position of the implant. In some cases, the implant needs to be removed or re-positioned.

Since you are one year after your chin implant surgery, you are certainly looking at a final result. It's difficult to appreciate your lip asymmetry with the photographs that you posted. I would suggest visiting a reputable facial plastic surgeon for an opinion. Thank you. Sincerely, Dr Joseph
