Can the implant be redone to fit lower on the chin to create length?

Asked By:hersheykissy in tx

I had a chin implant placed 2 months ago. Although I like the way it looks, I wish the implant would have been placed a little lower to lengthen the chin instead of a straight projection. Can the implant be redone to fit lower on the chin to create length? If so, how should I tell my surgeon? I feel I should have said something prior to surgery. Can this revision be done in office?
