Ask other doctor's why they are not willing to do it! There is a reason for that!

I just had a chin augment 8 weeks ago. I still can't feel my chin and lower lip because the mental nerve is stretched when inserting the implant. See if your doctor tells you that there is very slight chance that you might end up with nerve damage. And what the implication is? Listen to this close if you cannot feel your lower you won't be able to feel a kiss again. Just the top lip but some of feeling a kiss comes from the bottom lip. When you eat food you won't know whether you are chewing on your lip. It can take months for it to come back and there is a slight chance of permanent damage. I think more needs to be done to not stretch the nerve. Doctors need to inject local anesthesia into there lower lip and chin for several days to experience life like that so they can empathize with making advances in not damaging or stretching the nerve.

Thank you all for your responses!
