Pain and numbness 20 days post-op after chin implant and jowl lipo. I believe a stitch is causing the pain?

I have spoken with my doctor about the pain I am still feeling 20 days after my implant. I only have pain on the left side which seems to be located right above the dimple that is above the lumpy part of the scar. The doctor says I need to have the whole implant removed to alleviate the pain but I believe there is a stitch that is tugging whenever I talk or chew. I can't stand the thought of having the implant taken out, is there a way to relieve the pulling without removing the whole implant?
