Asked By:Styles2681 in New York, NY

Hi there. I am a 34 y/o Male, athletic, no medical issues. 10 days post op after having a chin augment. I went with an Implantech Terino Square Style 1 size Large. I am aware that there is often much assymetrical swelling afterwards but this looks very off! The right wing appears too high, it is off centered, and too much inferior projection. And what is with the "notch" ?! Am I wrong? Surgeon tells me I am being too critical and not giving it a chance to settle. I simply disagree. Please help!!
