How to Tell if There is Nerve Damage After a Chin Implant Causes Numbness?

JoeyGee
I had a silicone chin implant 5 years ago and still have numbness sensation. Is there any type of test to determine if there is nerve damage of if it is just because of the extra large implant pressing on the nerve? I would have it taken out but only if it was for the better.
