Chin burring reduction.

Leading up to surgery, Dr. Eppley had made it sound like an Inside the mouth incision was not an issue at all. Now, I have severe problems with my muscle every time it moves I feel awkwardness. On top of that, my chin is protrudes further out than before and is extremely uncomfortable. He left me with an irregular look that I had to seek revision on. He completely ignored my requests. Complete distaste for his surgeon practices. I looked better before than now after seeing him. I should never have paid for his incompetence.

I had such a bad experience. My chin is worse now than ever. He acted like he didn't have the time to answer my questions. And on the day of surgery he completely disregarded what we had discussed and left me with irregular and uncomfortable look. He mad an inside incision and every time I move my lower lip, I feel the absolute worst discomfort. Should have never seen him. I still cry and yell to myself ever going and seeing him. Left me looking worse than before. I'm so agitated that he even is licensed to do this to people! Please do not waste your money on him. He doesn't care. He has so much other clients he will disregard and not pay attention to the details you want done on your procedure. Please red this as a huge caution towards his practice. I will never be the same because of him. I am 30 years old and I look at my before pictures, wishing I could go back... I am so sad how he changed my look in such a hasty way!!!

this doctor is always replying to queries on this site. so there is a big difference in giving medical advice and actually doing surgeries. it appears that even a board certified surgeon cannot guarantee a good result.
You are correct. A thorough Google search on this doctor is advised.
Wish we could see before and after pics.

he sowed me up from the inside. I was surprised that I can't even put my tongue in the pocket of my mouth. he never told me that would happen. I could hardly ever get an answer from him. I got a revision surgery done. he cut one corner of my chin and left the other side still intact leaving a dissymmetry appearance.
Hi there. What caused your chin to stick out further than before, since it was a reduction? Do you know how much was removed in mms or have before pictures/x-rays to hand?
I am confused, if he burred ur chin it wouldn't stick out further. What did he say about the pain and probleems with the muscle? Did u do this under general anesthesia?
I wish your chin surgery had turned out as good as mine. Dr. Eppley burred my chin and it turned out great,,,
