THANKS FOR YOUR QUERY, i have gone through your query, the dark color over the chin area could be because of the hemorrhage secondary to implant placement. nothing to worry, you can apply cold things(ice cube) over the site. consult your implantologist and get the prescription for the blood clot to dissolve(like thromboplebh ointment. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
