I had chin implant surgery 3w ago, silicone w wings. Shape is perfect and symmetric. But I have a bump on the left side where the wing ends, I can feel and I can see it now that the swelling has subsided. The other side is perfect, I can't feel anything. I thought it was the implant but if I pull my skin or I pull up my face, I don't see it anymore. I went to see my surgeon last week and he said the implant is placed right, he said to give it time to heal. Please give me your opinion, thank you
