The approach for removal of a chin implant will depend on the reason for removal and the type of implant that was used. For example, if there has been significant tissue ingrowth into the implant I would prefer an incision under the chin which provides better exposure.

   The implant can probably be removed through the chin, but this would create an additional scar.  Removal of a chin implant in the simplest case may be $1000 or so.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
