Guest guest Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 hi--haven't posted in awhile. originally i was having a lefort for vertical reduction, but since that would've involved shortening the skin from nose to lip as well (which is unpredictable), i instead opted for a genioplasty to reduce lip strain. so...i had this done thursday morning, the tape was removed today, and now i can feel a small hard spot under my chin, just on one side. is it likely that this is just swelling/fluid? is it normal for some of the swelling to feel harder than the rest? my concern is that it's a screw!! however, i have no idea where the screws were placed. i had a slight reduction and slight movement forward, so i don't know where they put the plate and screws in this case. anyone else have a genioplasty to reduce vertically and move forward?
