Chin implant revision - Do I need a revision asap before it possibly gets worse? (photos)

Hello! Thank you for your question. I have evaluated your case regarding the information you provided and your photos. If the implant they used has 2 mobile wings then it may have slipped. You need a revision surgery to get it fixed again or maybe to install a new implant.

Hello !

Chances of chin implants moving after its fully healed - if the surgery has been performed by a skilled surgeon- are close to 0%, unless people get into an accident. It is important to know what kind of implant it is ( Silicone or Medpor as Medpor allows your own tissues to grow through its pores to stabilize it and make it harder to remove/move). Then you will have to decide if you want it to be repositioned or if you want a new implant.

It is better to treat it ASAP to avoid further complications.

I hope this helps,
best of luck !

I suggest you follow up with the provider who plays the implant and have him or her get you an assessment, and talk about revision options. If that is not a possibility, then schedule F you in person second opinion consultations with other providers in your community.
I think your situation is better handled by having an in person discussion with your provider or another surgeon who can examine you and talk about treatment options in context of what your needs and constraints are. Best,
