My face looks too long after chin implant. Can this be because of swelling?

Asked By:trickster9004 in Buffalo, NY

I had a chin implant 5 days ago and right now my face looks a bit too long with the implant. I understand I am still swollen and my chin will continue to change. My main question is that when swelling decreases, will it typically also decrease the vertical length of someone's chin implant? Or does the swelling mostly affect wing area of implant?
