3 Weeks Post Chin Surgery and Have Asymmetry? (photo)

The implant seems str8 but it feels like there's more flesh on the right of my chin peak than the left & when i flex a certain way it does what you can see in the photo anyone seen it before? can it, will it resolve? Also is it normal to have such weakness in the middle of your bottom lip so much that i can't seal my mouth properly and i spill water when drinking? please answer elaborately
