Chin implant too big, causing numb tooth (Photo)

Asked By:paula.t in Sweden, SE

7 weeks ago I got a chin implant, medpor 7 mm. I have numbness in a tooth, lower jaw. If I put pressure on the side of my chin I can feel a strange sensation in the tooth. I have talked to my surgeon and he just waves it of, saying that the nerve to the tooth is not affected. Well, obviously it is! Does the implant look weird/too big and what can be causing my numb tooth? Also not happy with the look of the incision. It's not straight... Is that normal?
