Chin Implant Very Round and Made Face Too Long from Front View

I am one week post op from having a chin implant. I absolutely love what it has done for my profile, and in that regard I wouldn't want to go any smaller, but from the front my face looks so much longer. It also looks like I have this rounded chin and then my cheeks come out instead of being one flush line. My surgeon tells me that as it heals I should get an increased sulcus and it should pull up on the implant resulting in less length from the front view. Is this true or is it placed wrong?

A: Chin implant results

After one week, you'll still have some residual swelling.  It may take up to 3 months to see the final result and then you can discuss a revision with your plastic surgeon.

A: Chin implants and swelling

Thinking about Getting a Chin Implant - Would it Help?

I am thinking of getting a chin implant. Think it would help? If so, what size should I get?

A: Chin Implant Expectations Need to Be Realistic

It appears as though you may need to have a mandibular advancement instead of a chin implant.  However, it's difficult to give you exact answers without examining you in person.
