Healing of Nerves After Chin Lipo and Augmentation?

May 23, 2013
Asked By:SeasideMel

It's been 5 weeks since I've had my chin augmentation & liposuction under the chin. I think I'm healing fine, but the nerve from my chin to my lower lip is not healed & I cannot smile like I used to. The left side of the lower lip stays low while the rest of the lip curves into a smile. I spoke to my doctor about it a couple weeks ago & he said it would heal, but I guess I'm still a little concerned about it. How long does it usually take? Is there anything I can do to facilitate its healing?
