Asked By:mynosemylife in Vancouver, BC

So i had a chin implant, but sadly my body rejected it, so i had to take it out within like a week post surgery as i was constantly bleeding and got the area infected. the incision were from the inside of the mouth. anyway, now the skin that got build look so weird, i don't know what this is called. my cosmetic surgeon does not know what caused it to be like that nor does he know how to solve it. it now has been exactly one full year since the surgery.
