A member asked:
Six months after sliding genioplasty i scratched dead skin of my chin hard, could chin have moved?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Genioplasty: By six months, the chin should have completely healed. If you feel movement of the chin or if you are concerned, you should see the doctor that performed the procedure and have them evaluate your chin.
