I have a lot of tightness and pulling in my chin, to the point it's turned to pain. I'm pretty sure it's scar tissue or the muscle somehow entangled with the plate. When I asked a surgeon about plate removal, they said it would likely get worse if the plates are removed.
Anyone know why this would be? I'll follow up and ask of course, but that's not until the next time we talk. I know it's another procedure that would require cutting and healing, and maybe even more scar tissue, but if it's currently entangled around the plate and pulling, wouldn't removing the plate provide relief?
