8 weeks post - Has my Chin Implant migrated? Also possible infection? (photo)

Asked By:Iammidwestgirl in Dubuque, IA

I noticed my chin implant seemed to be a bit higher about 8 weeks post op. I then started to notice some swelling around my jaw line and the side of my face. The implant looked great after surgery. After asking my boyfriend if he thought it looked different and if my face looked swollen he said yes. So I sent some pics to the doctor asking if it might be infected. He was not concerned because there was no jaw work done. He did prescribe antibiotics. I see my old chin below my implant now
