kino Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Some people wonder if their lips will change after genioplasty, and the short answer is yes, this will be a tradeoff. A genioplasty, especially one that moves the chin forward will make lips appear thinner, especially the lower lip by curling it slightly inward. This is due to the pull of the soft tissue by the advanced bone. Also the mentalis muscle that controls the lower lip is cut and needs to be reattached after the surgery. How precisely and where it's re-attached will effect the lower lips appearance.

KoreaSurgery2020 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Interesting I wonder what happens if it's a genioplasty combined with double jaw surgery to move the jaw back, how would the lips change in this case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
