I had a chin implant (medium) size on Saturday.Yesterday I had my dressings removed and I was a by shocked by the swelling of my jaw line. The actual chin is not swollen at all and I did not have any bruises. Today its massively swollen Jaw line with a big bulb on each side of the chin implant.This morning it had the size of a pea and now it's the size of a Grape.The first days were really good and only needed painkillers the very first day but now the swelling and bruising are getting worse.
