Hello,
So I’m having a problem. I just had jaw surgery and my lips won’t meet! I have to forcibly close them and when I do you can see a wrinkly chin that I had before the surgery! I’m freaking out because I don’t want to go over a revision. My surgeon said a little teeth should show at rest, but when I see people hey have their mouth close normally and no wrinkly chin? Could it be swelling? I will be 6 weeks post-op this Friday.
I also feel like my chin has too much skin on it? I’m not sure if that makes sense, but I keep thinking that a genioplasy was supposed to be done. I asked about it before the surgery, but the surgeon recommended no genioplasy since it wouldn’t be astheticslly pleasing. Here is some before and free photos and in the after photos, you can see a wrinkly chin:

Re: Jaw Surgery Post-OP Problem!!!
Hello,
Thank you for your words!!! I’m just scared because it looks like a receding chin from the front! It’s just annoying because I though I would be able to close my mouth normally by now. I have compared myself to other people and have looked at peoples profiles and photos and when they close their mouth, their chin are not receding. I’ll wait the 1 year and if it donar improve I may talk to my surgeon again.
