I'm considering a chin implant removal after 2 months, will the sensation come back?

casanovanoir
I received a large silastic chin implant and I've been numb on the lower right lip and chin ever since. I don't feel any tingling unless I pucker my lips like a kissy face, and even then it's faint. I can feel the implant through my gums (there's a ridge there underneath my molars). My PS says it's my own bone, but I don't think so. I also feel discomfort and mild pain when I talk a lot on the right side. For doctors here, has removing the implant improved these symptoms for past patients?
