Is It Normal to Still Have Swelling in the Chin Area 5 Weeks Post Chin Implant/neck Lipo?

September 23, 2011
Asked By:SMSCO in Denver, Colorado

I had a chin implant and neck lipo 5 weeks ago. My chin looks slightly bolbous making it look and feel like it is too big. Could it still be slightly swollen? My lower lip still not entirely feeling back to 100% yet, and the lip looks slightly smaller. I have a little problem eating (the likes of pizza) and sometimes bite my lip if not careful. I can no longer see my bottom teeth but truth be told I feel like it has relaxed SOME. Tho perhaps it is wishful thinking? Is this all normal?
