Hello I got chin implant (mouth incision) 2 weeks ago and I know I want it out. (Yes even if it deswells) My surgeon told me that I need to wait till the tissues are fully healed, so 6 months But every surgeon on here says you can get it out at any point and sooner is better for the skin not to stretch. I’m getting a second opinion, but my concern is, if I do have the option to take it out now, are there high risks for tissue, nerve or anything ? I dont mind if incision is under the chin
