Can Artefill Fill the Empty Pocket Once Chin Implant is Removed? I had a chin implant procedure done a couple of years ago, and recently had it replaced. After I had it replaced, I was still dissatisfied with the results. I have rounder features, and I feel the chin is too sharp.
I'd like to get it removed altogether, but am concerned that I will be left with a drooping chin. Can Artefill be used to fill the empty pocket once the chin implant is removed?

A: Use of filler after chin implant removal

There is no reason to place anything else in the chin implant pocket. The pocket will completely close down upon itself and once the implant is removed the preoperative contour of the chin will be back to its normal state as if it were unaugmented. There is absolutely no reason to place Artefill in the chin area and it would probably be only temporary at best.
