Crooked chin implant? Should I be concerned?

bD1237
5 wks post op from a chin implant placed under the chin. It looks great although I can feel the wing in my gums on the side, on the same side I had numbness and and paralysis which just this week is starting to subside.surgeon assured me it was fine the wing that I’m feeling just anchors the implant? He says if it starts to irritate me he can make an incision inside the mouth and cut the wing? Really not wanting to get another surgery. I also feel a tight muscle in my lip. Should I be concerned?
