Is Chin Tightness After A Sliding Genioplasty Fixable?
Q: Dr. Eppley, Is chin tightness after genioplasty really fixable? Or its a nerve damage case?
A:Lower lip Tightness after a sliding genioplasty is a contracture/soft tissue deficiency which is definitely improvable by soft tissue release and dermal-fat grafting. Improveable is the term I would use rather than fixable. Overall chin tightness may be a different matter as that suggests an overall bone advancement issue which may require some degree of reversal for improvement.
