Chin implant lump 7 months after surgery. What could be causing this?

Asked By:Jass0183

I had my chin implant surgery back in July of 2023 and it's been about 7 months since surgery. And just not to long ago maybe a month already I have been feeling a lump on my left side of my Jaw. I squish it and it hurts and feels like maybe my implant went under? I feel a stick feeling... Not sure if it may be my implant or tissue building up as my surgeon said last week when I called.. I'm not sure what it is but I can still eat and move my jaw fine but I'm just scared.
