I had a silicon chin implant 11 years ago, but now my chin looks like the same size as before the implant. Could it be due to bone absorption? Do I need to remove it and replace a new one? Is there any other options? Is there any risk if I don't take it out? Thanks.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Small amount of bone resorption Yes, indeed, over time there is a small amount of bone resorption when an implant is placed on it. The current implant that you have can be removed and a larger implant placed to further balance facial chin aesthetics. There is no risk associated with taking out the implant.

Answer: Silicone chin impalnts have a long history of safety, and reliability. The mere presence of your chin implant is not a reason to remove it, unless it's causing you problems. There is no risk of leaving it in place if it's not bothering you.

Answer: Some bone absorption of silicone chin implant Silicone chin implants could over time exert pressure on the bone leading to minimal bone absorption. In most cases, you can not detect this clinically. An evaluation by your plastic surgeon could help to detect this finding. Best of luck!
