What can be done about Mentalis Dysfunction: Chin Dent after a chin implant? What went wrong that caused this deformity?

MonaCatAug 25, 2014
I am 4 weeks post a chin implant and full face lift. Two weeks ago a chin dent popped up on the right side of my face. I have read that Botox could help, but I want a permanent fix.

Any possibility that with time it will resolve on its own ?
