If I Have A Revision Genioplasty Will The Tightness Of My Chin Get Better?
Q: Dr. Eppley, I am considering a revision sliding genioplasty as I had a 4mm advancement which made my chin overprojected (this was two years ago). I have a mild tightness and altered sensation on the right side of my chin which is only in a small area. I read here that this might have something to do with soft tissue entering the ‘dead space’. If I were to have a revision genioplasty to put my chin back 2-3mm, is there anything that can be done to alleviate this tightness/altered sensation.
A: You would probably benefit by he placement of a small fat graft at the same time to add soft tissue fill.
