Chin Implants Gone Wrong

November 23, 2008
Asked By:Pristine in Los Angeles, CA

I got a chin implant last spring. I asked the surgeon's assistant to show me the implant before they put it in but I didn't got to see it. When they started the surgery, I was already too much asleep to ask for it again. My face looks rather too broad now, with a box-like appearance. My face was oval-shaped before. Do implants really change how the face looks at the front? What can be done about it?
