I Had a Chin Implant, Neck Lift, and Liposuction Done Two Days Ago, Have Swelling?

I had a chin implant, neck lift, and liposuction done two days ago. My cheeks and lower lip are still swollen. I noticed when I press on the right side of my implant,I get an odd sensation radiating to my right lower lip.Is this normal? Also, I noticed the left edge of my implant is slightly raised and is not snug against the bone.Will it lay against the bone after the swelling or is this a problem? Thanks so much for your help.
