Possible to Adjust a Crooked Chin Implant?

SA1111
I had a chin implant and neck liposuction 3 years ago and the implant was placed in crooked. The Dr. said that he couldn't see it and to give it some time. It is still the same and looks terrible in pictures. I can feel that it is under my jaw on one side and above my jaw on the other side. My neck under my chin is still quite numb, blotcy and extremely dry. I am very concerned about wrinkles and saggy skin since the surgery. Please help! Can the implant position be adjusted or will it have to be removed/replaced?
