Implant surgery can also involve bone grafting. It is common to have numbness in your chin or lips for one week to over one month after this type of oral surgery. The healing process is longer than other dental work. You should schedule a follow up appointment to ensure that the implants are healing correctly. Any issues will be checked at your appointment.

So, according to this if you are having a bone graft like you have to before getting an implant that it is normal to have some numbness for up to 1 month. I'm sort of relieved to find this out at this point. Also, I have another appointment this week to see my oral Surgeon so that likely will be a useful conversation too. And it is my right lower jaw furthest back tooth which they say is the most common (the jaw teeth) regarding numbness in general in regard to oral surgery.
