Does a Chin Implant Really Take Up to a Year to Heal?

I had my third chin implant. The first one was just not right. The second implant another doctor placed wrong again and a week later did surgery on me again and this time placed properly. It has been 3 months now and it has improved a great deal but my doctor says it can take up to one year b/c I had so many surgeries and the pocket from the first surgery has to dissolve. Is this true? Will I be ok? I have these dimples all the time. PS says its b/c the pocket is still there dissolving.
