My recently placed chin implant (7 days) is misaligned. Surgeon believes it is centered. I do not. How do I proceed from here?

I recently had a chin implant put in (1 week ago). My surgeon thinks that it is centered. I strongly disagree even with some imbalanced swelling. To be specific he aligned it with my nose. My nose is not perfectly aligned with my face though and the implant is at least 3mm out of center of my mouth and more importantly my jaw. I care about my jaw line, not whether the implant is centered with my nose. How do I go about resolving the disagreement and what are my options for fixing it at this point?
