Chin ptosis and mentalis support
112 source posts connected by subject, across Dr. Moon’s personal blog and the ILCHI clinic blog.
Chin ptosis is a recurring subject across the personal and clinic blogs. The posts discuss soft-tissue support, previous chin surgery, scar tethering, lower-lip movement and the writer’s explanations of revision planning. The archive also includes case reports and accounts of teaching on this subject.
The wording of the clinic’s three-part or 3R explanations varies between posts. Each summary follows its own source, and the archive does not combine those formulations into a single standardized technique. Earlier affiliations and publication dates remain attached to their records. This helps readers distinguish the history of the writing from a current recommendation for a particular patient.
