Hi guys,

about two years ago, I (21f) got a small chin implant + lipo with a famous surgeon in the west coast.

However, nowadays my face looks pretty much the same as before. The implant settled way too much and instead of fat I now have thick scar tissue which resembles fat and gives me a double chin illusion. I'd like to get the implant removed, a sliding(!) genioplasty instead and some type of treatment to resolve the extreme scarring. I don't know why the scarring looks like this as my boob job scars healed perfectly fine, so I'm not too sure if it's due to genetics.

Now my question is if you could reccomend me surgeons to look into. I like Steinbacher but I think for genioplasties it's best to go to an OMFS doctor. I'm based in Europe but willing ot travel anywhere for my revision, preferably the U.S. 

I would appreciate some insight <3
