I had chin implant surgery in 2011. One end of the implant came out if the pocket. I paid the surgeon for a revision in 2012 to correct the implant. Instead of trying to put the end back into the pocket (or new pocket) he trimmed the end. One side of my chin looks great but the other side appears to make my chin look uneven. You can see the end of implant and I can also feel it. Absolutely hate it. Seems like since I’ve aged it only looks worse. Is there anyway to fix this?
Answer: Chin implant Migration of the implant is the second most common problem for chin implants. A CT of the chin would help determine what treatment is best. Sometimes the implant can be repositioned, other times it should be replaced. A custom implant is another option. I prefer to secure the implant with tiny screws to ensure that it doesn't migrate.

Answer: Genioplasty It sounds like you are a good candidate for a genioplasty. This is a permanent procedure that allows us to pretty much put your chin in whatever position you like. You will most likely have chin ptosis after an implant removal, but a genioplasty would resolve that. It is a fairly common practice to remove chin implants and replace them with a genioplasty because you will end up with a better outcome. I suggest doing some research before having an implant revision.

Answer: Chin Implant / Facial Sculpting -- see an expert It's difficult to say without the benefit of a formal evaluation. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.
