enf782 Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 Hi what are the odds of skin sagging/ double chins worsening after mandible reduction? What about for reduction genioplasty? I'm skinny but my fat likes to float around my face so I already almost have a double chin. I'm not talking about v-line or zygoma reduction. Id like to undergo mandible reduction but I dont think I will if it'll make my double chin a lot worse. Besides, it's so expensive. Also, for simply rhinoplasty, is there anything they can put in thats flexible? I heard that when you get rhinoplasty (augmentation) you cant push the tip of your nose up. Thanks!
aba18 Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 I got rhinoplasty and cannot push my nose tip up but it never bothered me. Nobody asked me to either and more than 1 year post op.
heimcha-j Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 I think the tip is only hard if you use the septal cartilage tho
yolo-lilly Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 Hi! I'm very new to purseforum and very new to plastic surgery too. I read that thread lift is helpful but do you do it together?
enf782 Posted March 26, 2017 Author Posted March 26, 2017 Oh.... really? Though I imagine you still wouldnt be able to push up your nose with other materials? :S
enf782 Posted March 26, 2017 Author Posted March 26, 2017 =o Thats good that it's never bothered you. Before going in, did you think it would bother you or did you not consider it much? Idk I think it would bother me that I cant push the tip up. Though it's not something I ever really do lol... idk it would still bother me knowing that my nose is stuck in place and not flexible. xD Can you feel the implant?
enf782 Posted March 26, 2017 Author Posted March 26, 2017 Can't say I know much about thread lift. But I heard that problems persist even after skin tightening.
enf782 Posted March 27, 2017 Author Posted March 27, 2017 lol in honesty, probably not to get any surgery done and to learn to accept yourself as you are. But I know thats not the answer anyone wants to hear -- including me.
itsamemario Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 Factors include: Age + skin condition Amount of bone removed Amount of fat (Fatty tissue under jaw will weigh down skin) I've seen before and afters where the double chin has worsened because it has become more visible in the case of v-line, like their previous heavy square jaw was hiding it. However if you only do mandible reduction I'm unsure whether it will have that same side effect. Best bet is to send your pictures to a clinic that you're interested in or see a dr.
aba18 Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 For my bridge and tip, the doctor used my cartilage. I did think about it alot before going through surgery but now that it's already been done, it doesn't even cross my mind lol.
enf782 Posted March 27, 2017 Author Posted March 27, 2017 So you cant feel it? If not... can you feel it ever?
aba18 Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 I can't really feel it. If I'm touching my nose bridge, it feels like bone. My nose tip feels hardened if that make sense. I can wiggle and push it down alittle bit but that's it. I added pictures on my post. #
enf782 Posted March 29, 2017 Author Posted March 29, 2017 How risky is jaw surgery anyways? I know there are complications like nerve damage etc. What are the chances?
mlydzz Posted May 26, 2017 Posted May 26, 2017 Its pretty risky, sometimes you could also lose sensation on your lower lips, chin, etc. Some people get between 60-80% sensation back and some do most of it so it depends on the surgeons skills and your body i guess
