Can I get my chin implant repositioned?

April 1, 2016
Asked By:p2a in California, MD

Hi, I got a chin implant on Tuesday and the swelling has finally came down (Friday). I noticed that the left side is not aligned properly with my jaw and feels a little too low and I can feel the tail of the implant. What is the next steps? Would I have to undergo surgery again? Or would this be easily shifted back into place? I have my post op on Wednesday and can't see my PS until then since he will be out of town. I am really nervous. Please advise. Thanks!
