1.5 years after chin implant, possible mental nerve pain? (photos)

August 8, 2024
Asked By:chin3905 in Denver, Colorado

I had a deep neck lift and chin implant about 1.5 years ago. It took about 6 months for me to gain feeling back in my chin (lopsided smile), but when I did, I started to notice pretty strong pain in my left side, right next to where the implant ends (mental nerve?). It would be radiating pain for a few days and then go away. Starting in Feb it's been happening a lot more, and my surgeon has been ignoring my messages. It is also wiggly, which he said would stop happening after about 6 month
