Can Someone Give Me a Ballpark Figure of What It Might Cost to Remove a Chin Implant?

I am thinking of having it removed. What would be a ball park cost for removal, and possibly replacement. They only way I would replace is is they could do something of a different shape. I live in Massachusetts.
