Can My Chin Ptosis Be Repaired?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I have what I believe to be chin ptosis from a chin implant I received last year. The dr kind of refused to acknowledge the problem and instead replaced the implant with a smaller one and the issue remains. Is this something Dr Eppley could address? I had consulted a different surgeon and he’d recommended an oral maxilofacial surgeon but I hope it’s chin ptosis that can be repaired.

A:You are referring to a submental chin pad excision/tuck which is the most effective to chin pad laxity…which is not uncommon after chin implant removal or chin implant downsizing.
