Is It Possible I Could Have Been Sewn Incorrectly After a Chin Implant Via the Inside?

November 29, 2010
Asked By:Sharpie

I had the chin implant via the inside of my mouth and it feels really weird. It has been 6 weeks already and I speak differently kinda of with a lisp. It feels as if I was sewn up really tight. Actually I have 10 stitches because the chin implant moved or was not placed correctly and the PS had to go back in a week later and place it correctly so I was sewn up twice. Is this ok? Will I get better? speak properly? Will I not feel so tight after a while?
