I had a chin implant inserted 16 days ago. Today I woke up feeling a bit under the weather (sore throat, fatigued) and have noticed that I have a rash at the corner of my jaw bone on both sides of my face and at my corner of my eye.

My right lip is still numb after the procedure in case this could be relevant (it is worrying to me).
