Can't Close Lips After Chin Implant and Rhinoseptoplasty.

August 18, 2011
Asked By:yadax_benz in Houston, TX

I had a chin implant over two weeks ago and the swelling has gone down, though I am struggling to close my lips and look like I am sucking candy when I do. Will this improve? Could it be that my rhinoplasty pulled my upper lip upwards and the chin implant pulled my lower lip downwards?
