8 weeks post-op and I can see that there is a gap/space in my gum where the implant is visible, am I rejecting the implant?

I had a rhinoplasty with chin implant augmentation because it was suggested by the surgeon to improve my profile, a few days later I noticed i could see something transparent at the left side of the incision I was afraid it could be the implant I talked to the doctor about this and he says that effectively its the implant showing, he said i should wait till friday (5 more days), and if its not healed He'll take it off. he said I might be rejecting the implant, help please.
