Chin Implant Sticking out After Revision?

didntwantsurgery
I'm 2 weeks post-op, but it's already clear that my Chin implant is too low. What's worse is that it's sticking out of my face on one side. Is there any chance this will get resolved by itself during healing? The doc said that the implant was pulled down by the sutures and he can't explain the  "sticking out" part. He's and offering to revise again in his office under local anesthesia after a few weeks. Is it a safe idea? (He's board certified,clean record, seems capable, but the implant doesn't stay in place for the 2nd time already). Thank you!
