So i am planning to get my chin implant removed as it was too big. The doctor said even when he takes it out there will be a scar capsule there so it will not look like I had taken it out. I had medpor in for 7 months. I want to go back to my preop look. How long will the capsule take to resorb?

Late infections are exceedingly rare for chin implants.
Solid silicone implants are generally easy to remove but porous implants can be difficult.

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...
