I am 5 months post op from a chin implant. I am having some soreness/ discomfort when I smile occasionally. Not all the time, but sometimes I notice the discomfort. I’ve also had some acne pop up around the area so that could be contributing to the soreness since the acne is somewhat inflamed but I am concerned the implant is infection. Should I go in and see my surgeon?
