I have had many facial surgeries in my life. I was born without a jaw bone on the left side of my face. I had my last surgery when I was around 16yrs. It was I believe fat graph and cheek and chin implant. Well just recently I feel like I feel a screw or something very hard on my chin. And it hurts to the touch and it's hurting even more as time goes on. If I talk too much it will start to get sore in that spot. I really believe it's one of the screws and it hurts. Any ideas????
