Asked By:kanlink in Toronto, ON

I just had a chin implant yesterday. I don't know if its the way its taped or whats going on but there is a large dent on the right side that seems to be getting larger. I am getting very nervous. I like the way the left side looks but I'm worried the scar tissue and stuff from my acne causing a problem on the right side. I was told my all the doctors i consulted with that it would make my acne scars look better because it would stretch the skin. Is this just swelling?
