Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I had lower jaw surgery and a sliding genioplasty where my chin was moved forward for 0.19 inches. Still, I am not happy with my appearance. I feel my face is too long and narrow.
What can I do to improve my appearance as it affects my confidence?
I have partial numbness in my lip, and I would prefer to take a non-surgical route.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
From the image (attachments removed to protect patient's identity) you have sent, I feel your face profile is good and do not find any reason for you to be concerned about that.
By the way, if you post your pre-operative photos, it will be better for comparison and comment on it.
If you want further lengthening and broadening, you would need titanium implementation, which is somewhat a cumbersome procedure. So I do not recommend that.
Let me give you some ideas after comparing the two photos.
I will review it after you reply for a better understanding and treatment advice.
