Asked By:mikeyc1982 in New Jersey, NJ

Been on fence for a long time about a chin implant. 2 major reasons, one is because im scared that it will have to be removed at some point and to me that kinda defeats the purpose. If im getting this done, I would want it to stay with me til the end. I see a lot of people on here getting them removed years down the road. One reason is bone erosion. Secondly, I don't want to look different just subtly improve chin, basically without anyone friends/coworkers really noticing.. is that possible?
