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.

Thank you for your question. You have many options. While a pre-jowl implant is one of them, I think it would make your jaw look too large. Your Buccal Fat Pads are easily reduced from the inside of your mouth. That would give a more concave sweep to your jawline compared to the convex overhang ...
The two procedures that are effective for vertical facial shortening are forehead reduction (by hairline advancement) and chin shortening. (by vertical osteotomy) Computer imaging can show you the effects of either alone or in combination.
