Chin spasms and puckering - is this related to my 10 year old chin implant? (photos)

Boston girl 1Mar 2, 2023
Hello, 10 years ago I had a silicone, chin, implant put in. I never had any issues. I also would get Botox on my chin every three months because I have “ skin of the orange” bumps on my chin. Recently, I started to have twitching or chin spasms. I thought it was because my Botox was wearing off but it’s been two weeks and my chin is still having spasms and now seems to be puckered. Do you think I may need a chin implant revision as it’s possible to be pushing on a nerve? What else could it be?

We almost always prefer/recommend a genioplasty over an implant. A genioplasty has many benefits over an implant, and is generally more predictable. Implants are limited, and will make your chin wider, which does not sound like something you want. From the front, the lower portion of your face...

I did not see your presurgical photos but your chin does appear a bit narrow and prominent. Silicone implants are easily removed but high density polyethylene implants can be difficult to remove because of tissue ingrowth. In addition, after one year, the tissue expansion created by the implant...

We almost always prefer/recommend a genioplasty over implants, and this is one of the reasons why. They can be unpredictable, and sometimes they shift. Implants also make your chin wider. I am not exactly sure what you were looking for when you had the implant put in, but a genioplasty can get...
