Chin Revision Surgery in Ventura & Santa Barbara

Chin revision corrects an earlier chin surgery that healed poorly, whether an implant shifted, the chin was over-reduced, or the result looks uneven. Dr. Michael Morrissette's background in facial bone and jaw surgery makes him well-suited to fix it.

What Is Chin Revision Surgery?

Chin revision is a group of procedures that correct or improve the results of a previous chin surgery. It addresses problems left behind by a chin implant or a sliding genioplasty that did not turn out as hoped.

Because every case is different, chin revision is highly individualized. Dr. Morrissette identifies exactly what went wrong and chooses the method that will set it right.

Why Would You Need Chin Revision?

Chin augmentation demands precision, and small issues can affect the final look. Several problems commonly lead patients to seek revision.

You may benefit from chin revision in Ventura and Santa Barbara if you are dealing with:

An implant that shifted, migrated, or sits unevenly
A chin implant that is too large or too small
A chin that was over-reduced or under-advanced
Asymmetry after a previous procedure
Infection or injury involving the chin
Lip incompetence, where the lips do not close comfortably

How Does Dr. Morrissette Perform Chin Revision?

The right technique depends on what needs correcting. Dr. Morrissette is versed in every approach and selects the one that fits your situation.

Replacing or Repositioning a Chin Implant

When an implant is the problem, Dr. Morrissette can resize, reposition, or replace it with a custom chin implant shaped to your anatomy. His facial implant expertise, which he teaches to other surgeons through cadaver labs, guides precise placement.

Bone Grafting for an Over-Reduced Chin

If a prior chin reduction removed too much bone, a bone graft can rebuild it. Dr. Morrissette uses your own bone or a graft material to restore projection and contour.

Chin Wing Osteotomy to Reshape the Jawline

A chin wing osteotomy cuts and repositions the jaw bone to correct prominence, broaden the lower jawline, and restore lip competence. This jawline surgery draws directly on Dr. Morrissette's deep work with facial bone.

Chin Fillers for a Non-Surgical Adjustment

For minor corrections, dermal fillers can add volume and refine the chin's shape and symmetry. Fillers are temporary, so they suit small touch-ups rather than a permanent fix.

Can Chin Revision Correct an Implant That Is Too Big or Small?

Yes. If your chin implant looks oversized or too subtle, Dr. Morrissette can exchange it for a size that better balances your face.

He can also convert an implant result to a bone-based one, or the reverse, depending on what will look most natural. The goal is always a chin that fits your features.

Am I a Candidate for Chin Revision?

Good candidates are healthy adults unhappy with a previous chin procedure. A consultation confirms whether revision is right for you.

You may be a candidate for chin revision in Ventura and Santa Barbara if you:

Have complications or disappointing results from an earlier chin surgery
Are in good general health
Want to correct your chin's size, shape, or symmetry
Hold realistic expectations for the outcome

What to Expect at Your Chin Revision Consultation

Your consultation begins with a close look at your chin and a discussion of what has bothered you since your last procedure. Dr. Morrissette listens to your goals and examines the underlying structure.

From there, he builds a custom plan, whether that means adjusting an implant, grafting bone, or reshaping the jawline. He also performs genioplasty and facial feminization surgery, so chin work in every form is a focus of his practice.

Why Choose Dr. Morrissette for Chin Revision in Ventura?

Chin revision is more demanding than a first-time procedure, and it rewards a surgeon who understands bone. Dr. Morrissette is board-certified in oral and maxillofacial surgery, with decades of work in facial bone and jaw surgery.

He performs the full range of chin reshaping, from chin advancement to chin reduction to jawline refinement, and patients have traveled from outside the area for his chin procedures. That versatility lets him correct results other surgeons may not.
