Chin Implant - Capsular Contracture?

Chin Implant - Capsular Contracture?

I had a chin implant put in 4 weeks ago. The swelling has gone down but there is still tightness in the chin and it is difficult to speak or smile.  I have also noticed that the area is quite firm.  I'm seeing my PS on Wednesday but I'm worried that it may be capsular contracture.  I was hoping someone might share their thoughts.
Thanks

Capsule contracture following a chin implant is not related to capsule contracture following breast augmentation.  Since the chin plnat is relatively solid, capsule contracture is not an issue.  Of more concern is the effect of the surgery on your muscles that control smiling and mouth animation.  This usually resolves with time.
