I had a doctor place a chin implant on me and it is so wrong. I cannot believe he even stitched me up knowing it was not going to look right. I have to get it fixed and I would like to know how I should go about this? How do I know which chin is right for me? Do I show him pictures of what I would like? Does the doctor tell me what would look good? I am so confused and anxious. I have been walking around with this weird looking implant for 6 months. Can take it off?
