Tight mentalis muscle after genioplasty 2 years ago, advice? (Photos)

Question

I had genioplasty surgery two years ago When I try to close my lips, I feel stiffness in the muscle and the lower lip feels short It even affects the movement of the lower lip when speaking

Randal Haworth, MD, FACS · Answer

It's concerning that you're experiencing stiffness and reduced movement in the lower lip after genioplasty surgery. I strongly recommend reaching out to your surgeon or a qualified oral and maxillofacial specialist to discuss these symptoms. They can assess your current condition, identify the underlying cause, and recommend appropriate measures or interventions to address any issues with muscle stiffness and lip movement.

Best of luck !

Genioplasty surgery is going to have some affect on surrounding soft tissues. This is simply an inherent part of having this procedure.
At this point there isn’t really anything to do and your best option is to accept the side effects as simply being part of having had that procedure.
Best,
