Tightness following mentalis stitching to get rid of vertical chin cleft! Is it possible to undo?

Question

I'm 25 year old female and I had my mentalis muscle stitched in the center to get rid of chin cleft. Also had fat transferred to the cleft. But the doctor didn't approach intra orally but externally, right above the mentalis muscle. There is so much tightness right now. Please tell me if it goes wrong then it's possible to undo it. Please reply

You can try some Dysport or Botox in that area to soften it and gradually the tension will improve.
Avoid any more surgery in that area or tightness might get worst.

Dear neha rajput,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

I’m not familiar with that surgical procedure but there is not enough information to make an assessment. Early on things feel very different than they will down the line.
You didn’t include pictures or timelines. Why do you want to undo the surgery?
Generally the correct answer is the wait six months.
Best,
