Q: Dr. Eppley, I had a sliding genioplasty over 10 years ago and suffer from nerve damage in my whole lower face. Numbness tingling etc. Is there any treatment options for this?
A: That would depend on where the osteotomy cuts are relative to the mental nerve foramen. A panorex x-ray wouild be helpful in that regard. But at 10 years after the event improvement is not likely.
