Can anyone reassure me about getting a chin implant? Horror stories are getting to me :(

Asked By:sierracarolina in Florida, FL

This may be a dumb question, &I apologize in advance! I'm worried if the nerves and/or muscle could be damaged indefinitely? The numb feeling ¬ being able to move the lower lip even after the swelling is gone months later. I read a few horror stories from people who said this happened to them and their smile being changed. What are the actual chances of things like this happening? I'm in college &planning on getting the implant during summer. Sorry if I sound like a nervous nelly :(
