How Soon Can I Have A Sliding Genioplasty Revision?
Q: Dr. Eppley, I had a botched genioplasty and I am wondering if you could fix it? My doctor said I had to wait 6 months for a revision but 1) I really do not trust him to do the revision and 2) I have seen other people have revisions/reversals before 6 months. Thank you.
A: What type of bony movements were done in the sliding genioplasty and what concerns are there now? This will guide how you would revise your genioplasty. But it can be done anytime before 6 months as what matters is whether you have a clear idea as to the changes you want. The timing is not based on how well healed the bone is.
