Could my chin implant be slightly too high up that it's causing a burning, tingling sensation when my lip is stretched?

Asked By:bkee89 in Austin, TX

1 Month Post - large anatomical chin implant. Bottom lip, right side, is still numb. When my PS pokes it, I can feel it, but it's not 100%. When I eat, or when I yawn really big and the lip is stretched, I get a tingling, burning sensation. I can feel the implant is a little higher on the right side, not by much, and you can't see it. Feels like the implant is a bit higher and closer to the root of my tooth. The right side is the only side that doesn't feel normal, like the left. Is this normal?
