Had chin implant surgery 9 days ago. I still feel some tightness (at times it's more acute), numbness, an itching sensation, and a warm sensation (but not to the touch). Thankfully, the pain is generally gone, the numbness has waned, and it doesn't bother me too much. Are these normal symptoms to be experiencing? Is this a sign that my chin is healing? I have a follow-up appointment with my surgeon in three weeks.
