Revision Surgery After Sliding Genioplasty? (photo)

March 12, 2013
Asked By:takman

I had a sliding genioplasty done 10 months ago with some minor neck liposuction. Not 100% sold on the result. I think it definitely improved my profile when I'm relaxed but whenever I smile I get the "witches chin" effect which I dreaded going into this thing. Is there any way to correct this? Is it possible to shave the bone? What sort of recovery would be involved?
