Genioplasty question - Shifting?

[Guest guest]

It is now one month after my surgery (lower/genio). I pretty much

have full movement back, and I can almost eat anything I want! I'm

still slightly bruised and have no feeling the lower left side of my

face, but I'm starting to get used to that.

So on to my question. Has anyone had genioplasty that somehow

shifted as it healed? In all of my earlier pictures, I look very

symmetrical.. but now each day that goes past, my chin seems to be

moving to the right. I also have a large and very painful bump under

the right side of my jaw that I don't remember being there before.

I have considered the possibility that the swelling was causing me

to look more symmetrical than I really was, but looking at the

pictures, it really seems like things have shifted. Although of

course I'm no expert. Just wondered if something like that was even

possible.

A comparison picture is posted in the " Lea " folder.

Thanks!
