Can't comfortably close my lips - is my chin implant too big?

Asked By:jd432 in Woodland Hills, CA

Hi docs, i got a chin implant and mandibular jaw implant surgery back in 2019. Basically i cant comfortably close my lips. It takes a good amount of effort to keep them closed. My chin muscle also gets tired from holding them together. This is leading me to continue mouth breathing which is affecting other things as well. Is my chin implant too big? Any advice to be able to close lips comfortably? Please help
