Hello, I am 4 months post op and I have noticed since about 10 days post op I’ve had asymmetry on the right side of my chin (no change/improvement) I don’t know what could be causing this but it’s making me regret the implant (especially since I notice very minimal side profile improvement) I also have skin/muscle dimpling when I move my mouth which I need Botox for now. I’m more insecure now than before. Could the implant being placed unevenly be causing this asymmetry?
