Chin implant removal long term effects?

June 5, 2024
Asked By:jerry22245 in California City, California

Hi doctors! I couldn’t really find any answers to this but would love any opinions. I had my chin implant removed atleast half a year ago and have been extremely happy with the removal. No issues aesethically, or physically. My question is if there are any long term health issues that come with removing a silicone implant. I’d assume infection would not be an issue since the implant is no longer there?

Mortality rate for chin implant and is it safer than rhinoplasty?
Eric M. Joseph, MD says:

You may be reassured that chin implant surgery may be performed with purely local anesthetic. In the right hands, that would make the mortality rate as close to zero as possible. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph
