Can My Tightness After A Sliding Genioplasty Be Fixed?

Q: Dr. Eppley, Hello, you posted several case study about Genioplasty Tightness and dermal fat graft. No where on the internet i can find a review of someone who did the surgery with you. As i’m really interested in getting this procedure done with you, the only person i could find on internet did the same surgery with another doctor based on your study. It didnt work for him and nothing changed and he claim it was due to nerve damage. My questions is, did the dermal fat graft fixed the tightness problem of your costumer

A:I have done that release and graft procedure many times and each patient has gotten some improvement, some more than others. But the key is adequate release and a dermal-fat graft that is big enough to fill the released space.
