Crooked Smile Normal After Chin Augmentation?

User Avatar

Hi. I had a chin augmentation one week ago. Four days after my surgery, I noticed that my smile is crooked - the left side of my lip doesn't move down as far as the right side of my lip.My doctor said "it'll go away" but I'm still racking my brain worried that this may be some kind of permanent after effect of the surgery. Is it normal for such a crooked smile after surgery? I've included a link to a photo for reference. Thank you.
