8 weeks post sliding genioplasty with vertical lengthening. how would i know if the prosthetics or the chin has dislocated? would i feel the pain or it can happen without any pain or without my notice?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pins, screws, or plates are used to fixate the segments. There should be no worries that anything has moved.
