Dear doctors please help. I got chin implant and a neck liposuction it was a month ago in this picture. I have little hard lumps on my neck still and I feel that the implant isn't really right for me. I was so depressed I hated my lower lip looked smaller due to the big curve under it, should I've gotten a genioplasty instead to look more natural and feminine? Or it will look worse? Would it be dangerous for me to remove it and undergo another type? I will appreciate any help as I am very sad now
