Chin implant asymmetry due to swelling or malpositon?

October 26, 2013
Asked By:Shouldiworry in Los Angeles, CA

I am 9 days post op for silicone chin augmentation inserted under chin (medium size 3 extended anatomic). Swelling and bruising recovery is awful but am noticing slow improvements. I am now concerned about asymmetry that I'm hoping is due to swelling, as day 1 post op pic does not show this asymmetry but day 9 pic does. Should I see it decrease and become symmetrical soon or is the implant malpositioned?
