I had a chin implant surgery 4 months back and it is uneven. It was performed intraorally with screws. One side is uneven. So I'm planning to take Serrapeptase to rectify it. What I'd like to know is: 1. Would Serrapeptase attack the silicone chin implant? 2. How long will I have to take it to see a visible difference in my internal scar? 3. After I'm done seeing the results and stop taking the meds does the scar tissue come back? 4. Does it affect HA fillers? 5. Any precautions
