Clicking when putting pressure on chin implant at 5 years post-op. Should I be concerned? (Photo)

Practical884166Aug 25, 2022
I had a chin implant (silicone, no screw) 5 years ago, and in the last few days, when I've rested my chin in my hand, I've heard/felt a click in/under my chin. What could be causing this clicking sound/sensation, and should I be concerned?

Thank you regards
