Chin Implant: Q&A

Revision for Asymmetrical Medpor Chin Implant?

Two months ago, I got a Medpor chin implant. One side has been perfectly done. The other one used to be very swollen. Now it looks normal, I can still see the border of my implant, and feel it with my fingers. It’s not shocking when you see me, but any front picture of me shows it’s asymmetrical. Should I modify it? If so, how long does the intervention take? Will my chin be swollen (then more asymmetrical than ever)? Can I be sure the result will be perfect after this? Thank you.

Asymmetrical Medpor Chin Implant

Wait another 2-3 months to see if the asymmetry improves. If you are not satisfied the implant can be repositioned, but nobody should expect a "perfect result".
