Why does my chin have no projection after chin implant? (Photo)

Nicole109
I had a chin implant (#2 size implant) and 10 days post op. My chin does not have projection and looks longer. My doctor says to give it time as I still have swelling. I trust my doctor but a bit concerned. Once all the swelling has gone down will my chin have more projection and look less long?
