Lower tooth and gum exposure after chin implant removal and genioplasty - treatment options? (photos)

Rs1518Oct 19, 2021
15 years ago I had a chin implant removed during genioplasty. Unfortunately I wasn't aware of the potential for a complication of chin ptosis/lower tooth exposure. I was able to improve things a bit with juvederm in my lips, but aging and loss of facial volume has taken a toll. I am considering lower lip V-y lip advancement and possibly corner lip lift. After researching this for years, I realize it's not possible to "fix" my problem, but would would this treatment give me some improvement?
