When In Doubt - See your Surgeon !

See your Plastic Surgeon - regarding trauma severe enough to cause bruising. It may be that you have a blood clot, hematoma, that may need to be removed. The fact that it is warm to the touch might even mean that it may be infected. All of these reasons are why you need to see your surgeon for an evaluation.

Trauma to chin post surgery

Altho the chin is probably well healed and secure you may still have some trauma to the area. The bruising (hematoma) and swelling could make the area feel warm, and numb. Why not call your plastic surgeon and have him take a look just to reaasure you. Good luck, Dr. Schuster in Boca Raton
