Why does my chin still look the same after chin implant? (photos)

vivian2288Oct 31, 2016

Even this it's still swollen but once it's not, it'll look even smaller. Just had chin implant 4 days ago. My chin look nothing diff from before. I feel like it needs to be longer to make my face more slimmer, long and narrow. What can I do at this point? Can I get it redone right away since it only been 4 days.

Since your jaw does point slightly downward, implants do add vertical height. The effect is slight, and is more pronounced the larger the implant, but real. Ultimately implants are mostly chosen to add projection forward.
