Received xl flower chin implant 5 weeks ago. Left side has been healing nicely no issues. Right side there was more swelling, lot more numbness ( to this day) . Started feeling pain when talking around 3-4 weeks post. Now is a bit more manageable but still uncomfortable . When I touch the right side I feel a bump above my jaw that is tender. I also feel it inside of my mouth under my gum . No fever, not hot to touch. Is this just swelling or is the chin implant crooked?
