Chin is too big and too high (Photo)

julie anna
My implant sits high. It's not right on my jaw line and I feel a space along the implant and the jaw bone all the way around. I am aprox 2 weeks post op. I realize that there is some swelling, the more the swelling goes down, the more you can't see the ridge between bone and implant. How soon can a revision be done? Is it a complicated surgery to replace implant with smaller one and lower the pocket so it sits lower on my jaw bone.
