My Chin Implant is Out of Place - Can I Fix it w/o Surgery?

January 27, 2011
Asked By:Chicago2035 in Chicago, IL

I had a chin implant 2 years ago and it is not fitted properly in the pocket. I've started to notice it in pictures and if it hits the light in a certain way. I went to my doctor and he told me to push on the implant, and that the pocket will stretch and the implant will move into the right position. Does this sound right? Or does it need to be fixed with surgery?
