Implant way too long - What should be my next course of action? (photos)

April 15, 2022
Asked By:marshmallowjellybean in Atlanta, Georgia

I got a chin implant procedure done 10 months ago. Although I love the side projection my chin implant is way too long and makes my face look crooked. I came to the conclusion that it’s way too big after seeing pictures of myself. The doctor said he placed a 4mm chin implant in but clearly it makes my face look masculine and uneven. What should be my next course of action? Take it out? Replace it? Jaw implant or surgery instead? I've attached pictures for your viewing.
