Can asymmetry after a osteotomy / genioplasty be corrected? (photos)

November 1, 2022
Asked By:heysupwassup in Hendersonville, Tennessee

Is it possible to straighten this or am I just out of luck? I had a osteotomy/ genioplasty not sure the correct name but one side is slightly high and more forward and the other side is slightly lower and more backward. It would be a slight move so not sure if it can be done it is secured with a plate.
