I am a 28 year old female. I had a chin implant as well as neck/chin liposuction done 3months ago. The results aren't what I thought they would be. The implant improved the definition from the side but I still feel like my face looks chubby. I cant tell that I had lipo at all. Does it take a long time for the skin to tighten or is this the final result?
