Also I don't like how my face looks long!! Is there any way I can get a revision done and put everything back to the way I looked before surgery??? Plus I have weird shadowing when I look in the mirror, it looks like my chin is BULGING OUT OF MY FACE and it looks like I have the fattest face with a skinny body.
