Will Getting a Chin Implant Make my Lips Look Thinner/smaller?

July 3, 2012
Asked By:Kiyoshiflower

I may get a chin implant (size xsmall or small) next summer. However, I was wondering if the implant will make my lips look any smaller, thinner, or bigger? Or if the implant will not just cause an illusory effect but physically make the lips change in size? Thanks!
