Hi doc, i was in 9days post chin implant until my sister kicked my left jaw hard when shes asleep, so hard until it was red and swollen. Now it is still swollen and tender but no longer red. However im worried if my implant has shifted. Or if it is just swollen. My surgeon is out of town for another 2 weeks so i cannot ask him now.. With this questions, im attaching the pic. Please answer me since i am so hopeless.. Thanks doctor!
