Constant twitch in chin 10 weeks after silicone chin implant. Advise?

May 13, 2019
Asked By:Jamielynn1021 in Saint Clair Shores, MI

I had a silicone chin implant inserted under my chin on March 5th. I started having twitching on my lower left side of my chin a day ago. It twitches every couple of seconds and it’s also visible from the outside. It’s constant and driving me crazy. Prior to all of this I had a pretty smooth recovery. Didn’t experience much numbness at all. Should I be concerned that the twitching is happening now? Unrelated but I have a revision schedule in July, not happy with current shape/size.

Answer: Having a botulinum toxin type A injected into the muscle of the chin will very likely solve this issue
