1 month post op cheek implant, right side is more swollen then the left. Is this normal?

ani92
So I have cheek implant done about a month ago. But somehow the right side is still more swollen then the left side. And it's very noticeable when I smile or laugh. And there's a tightness feeling around my cheek area. Whenever I touch it I can my skin or nerve kinda tingling. But there's no pain or anything whatsoever. Is it normal? Thank you
