Removal of a porex chin implant

Typically these types of implants are not as easy to remove as silicone based implants. You may want to wait until the swelling resolves to make sure you truly want the implant removed.

Removing proex chin implant

Porex implants are usually more difficult to remove than silicone due to tissue ingrowth. You're very early after surgery at this point so I would recommend allowing your chin to heal and the swelling to resolve before going ahead with implant removal.
