chin implant dent in side of chin

[Cath57]

I had a chin implant with face lift 3 weeks ago and over the last 10 days have developed a deep disfiguring dent to the left of my chin.  There is a very slight dent on the other side of my chin also.  My son says "Mum you look weird, it's very off-putting - it looks as though your bone has caved in!"  I feel my life is ruined if this cannot be sorted, I am walking around with a scarf covering my chin and don't want to speak to anyone.
My surgeon wants to remove the implant!  I have undergone 3 weeks of pain and paid all this money for nothing then!  What advice can you give me, I just want to look normal now!

I can only speculate that the chin implant has become dislodged or malpositioned, leaving you with distortion of the chin.  Either complete removal or reposition will correct the problem.
