I had an chin implant done three months ago and it does not look normal. It might be too small and makes my cheeks stick out and make me look like a chipmunk. I also had lipo on my cheeks to make them slimmer so I know they are swollen and still need to become slimmer but I am looking really weird. Not sure if after one more month I will be ok. How does the doctor know which size chin to put on you?
