Had a double jaw and genio performed 3+ months ago to correct for significant asymetry from childhood accident. Did not go well- not much correction was acheived (maybe 30% alignment). Surgeon recommened 2nd genio to center chin. Second genioplasty performed 5.5 weeks ago - is better but chin is longer & more prominent than before, and lower lip is weak and can barely reach upper lip. What should I do? Bone shaving? Reduction genio? Lip filler? Help!
Im 3 months post genioplasty which was performed during jaw surgery. Although it was only 2,5-3 mm my chin looks bad (I never had a problem w my chin doctor convinced me we shall do it). Now it looks masculine, sticks out, doesn't match my face and worst - I have terrible mental is strain when speaking and eating :( pls help, what to do? full reversal? shaving bone? intra oral? what approach will be best? shall I go w my oral surgeon or someone else?
Only 3 months ago I had double jaw surgery and genio. The only thing I really wanted was a shorter and more symmetrical face as I thought I had a long face. Now my face looks longer and skeletical, and my cheek bones way disappeared. My chin looks too pronounced and big! She also moved the upper jaw down so as to show more teeth (said my teeth were too short). I really do not know what to do. Counterclockwise face rotation was performed... Can this be reversed? And if yes, how and when?
It's been three months after my 8mm sliding genioplasty. My chin is starting to show all the mentails strain that it had before I had my surgery. It's only been developing over the past week. I was told by my surgeon that a SG would get rid of this kind of thing. My chin is also off center by 2mm now (it wasn't before), but I was willing to live with it because the dimpling was gone. A follow up appt with my doc won't be for 3 more months. I'm really unhappy. Can this be fixed?
I had this done 3 months ago and I am not liking the results as my lower face looks fatter and my smile has changed for the worse plus my chin bulges out of my face and the right side of my chin has a notch. Also my face looks longer which I hate. My surgeon wants me to wait at the 5 month mark rather than make a hasty decision to reverse it. My question is will I look exactly the same prior to getting this surgery done if I get a reversal? What are the side effects? Best time to reverse it?
Hello, I'm currently struggling with my Genioplasty. It's been 3 months and I still cant talk or smile properly and my lips are very small compared to what they used to be. I do believe there's something is wrong. The tightness has gone away. My smile (completely) and speech (partially) has been completely ruined. I want this fixed.
