I am 4 months post op from my chin implant, but the skin on my chin is still very flaky. Is this bad?

The skin on my chin is very dry and looks as if I could peel it. Is this a result of the chin implant being too big? Will the flaky skin disappear over time?

Jonathan Kulbersh, MD says:

There can be a fair amount of swelling after a chin implant, which will gradually resolve over several weeks to months. I recommend following up with your surgeon. If your implant is asymmetrical, it can be re-positioned with a surgical procedure. I hope this helps.
