Dear Docs, I am having my silicon Chin implant now for two years and absolutely happy with it. I developed a hard cyste or pimple underneath the skin not far from my chin. It bothered me and I tried to pop it without success. Its slightly red now, I have no pain just worrying whether it can affect my implant i.e. result in an implant infection. Hope u can calm me down! Thank you very much
