Fixing the position of a chin implant?

User Avatar
shenndoeDec 31, 2017

One side of my chin implant seems to be sitting under my jaw line. The other side seems flush. Would it be difficult to fix that one side that sits under my jaw line? Will the healing process be delicate considering there might be a chance it moves back into that position? I got the implant September of 2016.
