Too much jaw and chin bone removed what are my options?
« on: January 31, 2024, 09:37:00 AM »
My face literally looks like a melted bowl of cheese. I have heavy jowls. I don't know what my options would be to correct this. I had mandible contouring and genioplasty. Please help me. I was told facelift can't fix as the area that needs lifting is too central. Are implants my only option? I have attached CT scan of my jaw bone and picture of how my jowls looks

I would recommend implants, should resolve your issue.

I don't want implants. I heard my body can reject it completely.

The genioplasty doesn't seem to help much. First do you have deep bite/overbite? if not. Do your parents have the sagging?  Nothing beats surgery in cases like this. I'd recommend sharing side ,profile pictures. But mentoplasty could help. That genio did not do much because it only adressed the small area of the tip of the chin. Look into Garcia y Sanchez mentoplasty or mentoplasty in general. Might help. Try eating harder foods for lower jaw.

We need to see scans of your jaws.

This could just be an inelastic skin issue, which some people have.
Millimeters are miles on the face.

No as mentioned I had mandible contouring and t-osetomy. The jowls is a result of that.

I literally posted my CT scan up above

I see one frontal scan, which isn't enough.
