Does Chin Asymmetry Need Botox Injections To Maintain It?

Dear Dr. Eppley I recently came across information about your chin asymmetry correction surgery using the bone shaving technique. I have a few questions regarding post-surgery care and maintaining the results: Maintaining Chin Results: Is there anything I should do to maintain the state of my chin in the long term after this type of procedure? Are there any recommendations to avoid potential issues such as sagging skin or asymmetry? Botox Use: Would it be necessary to use Botox in the chin muscles after the surgery to prevent muscle activity issues or asymmetry? Excess Tissue Removal: If further adjustments are needed in the future to correct the chin’s shape, would simply removing excess tissue be sufficient, or would more invasive procedures, such as osteotomy, be required? I would appreciate any recommendations you may have. Thank you in advance for your response. https://exploreplasticsurgery.com/bony-chin-asymmetry-correction/

A: Bony chin asymmetry correction may involve bone removal only or a combination of bone removal and soft tissue removal. Each case has to be evaluated on an individual basis. Either way the procedure is intended to provide a permanent correction. Botox injections are not needed for chin asymmetry correction or maintenance after surgery.
