When I woke up today, iam two weeks post op on chin implant (medium extended) .. I noticied there was small dimple on left side of chin. It was not there yesterday I am positive.. My friend did accidentally tap my chin yesterday nothing serious I really hope it didn't cause this dimple and that it goes away. My lower lips also still look like they don't move when I talk and affect my speech, but I feel sharp pains there so i hear that's healing! Will the dimple go away ?thanks
