Ljs and genioplasty 6 months ago. Right away I could tell something was off. Looked droopy and bulbous. . Feels like the skin is hanging off the bone, when I eat or talk it tenses up to wear I feel the soft tissue is supposed to be. It's painful as the muscle feels exhausted from constantly tensing and rubbing either on the bone or plates and feels raw. Believe the mentalis muscle and fat pad have not been suspended properly. Surgeon thinks it looks great but I feel disfigured.
