Can a chin implant create marionette lines or a cavity below the corners of the mouth? (photo)

September 6, 2017
Asked By:Ositoemo in United States

I got a medium silicone chin implant 6 weeks ago via intraoral and after the swelling went down I noticed I had deeper cavities below the corners of my mouth. (both sides) - Have you heard of similar cases after a chin implant? - Would removing the chin implant fix it? - My smile has returned to normal pretty quickly and the sensation of the chin is improving. I am considering removal since I want my volume back. I don't want to get any fillers at all I'm just 22. Please help me.

Barry L. Eppley, MD, DMD says:

Most female chin implants that I do are V-shaped as that is a more contemporary female chin implant design. Whether that is best done by using a standard vs a custom chin implant differs for each patient.

Larry S. Nichter, MD, MS, FACS says:

Without an exam your question cannot be answered.  You will need to see an Oral/Maxillofacial surgeon to see if othognathic surgery, genioplasty or using an implant is best for your specific case. It should be noted that patients with severely weak jaws or abnormally functioning jaws may be b...
