In Dr. Michael P. Morrissette, DDS's own words

How Dr. Michael P. Morrissette, DDS describes their own approach, from their Instagram posts. Each statement links to the original.

Approach

  • Every patient who walks through our doors deserves to feel welcomed, respected, and fully informed

Specialization

  • I do see some extreme cases where they need a chin implant and a genioplasty
  • Offers non-surgical treatments.
  • Specializes in facial cosmetic surgery.

Technique

  • Now, in this particular surgery, the only nerves that we get concerned about are sensory nerves. So we're going to elevate the sensory nerves on either side out of the way when we do our surgery
  • So we use an intravenous anesthesia technique. So it's IV sedation

Recovery guidance

  • By and large, I think genioplasty is not a significantly painful, not a pain. I just do not find that this is a painful operation
  • I typically tell patients they can go back to work in five days if they feel like their aesthetics are acceptable and they're not concerned that their coworkers would, you know, ask them a lot of questions
  • The only one caveat is that when we do this surgery, sometimes you're numb after surgery for a couple of days or even a week

Safety

  • And so that numbness can affect your lower lip. And we would want you to be careful about biting something where you might bite your lip
  • Now, the motor nerves are in a different plane. We do not see the motor nerves. So movement of your lip can only be affected temporarily if there's a lot of swelling

Results

  • The practice aims to help patients achieve refreshed, natural-looking results.

Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Michael P. Morrissette, DDS

Sourced directly from Dr. Michael P. Morrissette, DDS's social posts and replies.

Does Dr. Morrissette's practice offer specials or promotions?
Yes, the practice periodically offers limited-time specials and promotions on various procedures and skincare products. Patients should contact the office for current details and eligibility.
Source →
What are the typical pain expectations for Genioplasty (Chin Advancement)?
Genioplasty is generally not as painful as commonly expected. Most patients require only one or two pain pills for post-operative discomfort.
Source →
What are common immediate post-operative sensations after Genioplasty?
It is common to feel a little groggy from IV sedation until it fully wears off. The lower lip is numbed for several hours, which can cause temporary difficulty speaking. A little swelling, bruising, and overnight drooling are also normal parts of the healing process. Temporary numbness of the lower lip typically resolves within a week or two.
Source →
What practical advice is given for Genioplasty recovery?
Patients are advised to keep a towel nearby during recovery due to potential overnight drooling.
Source →
What is the typical downtime for returning to work after Genioplasty?
Most patients feel comfortable returning to work approximately 5 days after Genioplasty, once they feel confident in their post-surgical appearance.
Source →
What technology does Dr. Morrissette use for Eyelid Surgery?
Dr. Morrissette uses advanced radiofrequency technology instead of a traditional scalpel for eyelid surgery. This approach leads to a quicker recovery, less swelling, and a scar that is virtually impossible to spot.
Source →
What causes a gummy smile and how is it treated?
A gummy smile occurs when the muscles lifting the upper lip work excessively. Dr. Morrissette treats this with a few tiny injections of Botox, which softens the lift of the upper lip to reveal the desired smile. This is a non-surgical procedure with zero downtime, no incisions, and takes 15 minutes or less. Patients typically notice a refreshed look within 3 to 7 days.
Source →
What should I expect regarding results and recovery from Facial Liposuction?
Facial liposuction can significantly improve the appearance of stubborn fat located under the chin or along the jawline. The outcomes and recovery period following facial liposuction are unique to each individual.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2024)

$470

Payments

8

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Michael P. Morrissette, DDS received $470 across 8 payments in 2024. That is in the lower half for physicians here — totals this size are typically meals at sponsored talks. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was Straumann USA LLC.

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
