1 year after chin implant removal due to infection. Is it now safe to have dermal fillers in the chin and jaw area?

DukeNuke500
I had a chin implant removed September 2021 due to an infection. I want to get dermal fillers in my jaw and chin now to enhance the appearance of the lower part of my face. Is this a bad idea? I feel the infection should have healed by now. My gums still hurt a little bit when I press against them but that's it.
