How Soon After A Sliding Genioplasty Can I Get Surgery To Help With The Tightness Of My Lower Lp?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I just had a sliding genioplasty and I have a contracted lip and a step off. How long after the genioplasty do I have to wait until getting the procedure to fix the shortening of the lip?

A: I would wait a full six months to be sure that the initial tightness you feel does not largely resolve.
