This is driving me insane. I had a chin implant replaced back in August because it was too big (terino square 1 small). I was left with lower lip numbness and tightening that is driving me insane and lip looks bad, went to see the surgeon he said that it should go away with time and he let go that he filed my chin slightly (without my consent). Now my prominent side (right) is way smaller. I'm considering suing but I'm worried that he messed something up and I'm left with permanent nerve damage or something. Suggestions ?
