I got a chin implant a year ago 9/23. 2 mo. later I noticed the left wing of my implant was lower (underneath my jawline). Doctor said this was nothing to worry about. During my one-year apt. the doctor felt my implant to make sure it was still in place-he said it was. Since the apt. I'm experiencing spasms in my chin, numbness and tingling in my chin area, and pain when I eat hard foods. The doctor told me to wait this out to see if it resolves itself. It's been 3 weeks of symptoms.
