Chin implant removal - is it possible/safe to have the implant removed through an incision in the mouth?

PowerForwardShineOnJan 14, 2022
I'd like to have my chin implant removed bc I don't think it looks natural or proportional to my face. Is it possible and safe to have the implant removed with an incision within the mouth? My previous incision was under the chin and took a very long time for the scar to heal and I don't want to do that again if I can avoid it. What are the risks? Thanks!

Plastic surgeons tend to approach chin and plants from one incision or the other. Generally it’s better to follow the old incision pattern but that doesn’t mean someone couldn’t convert to an external approach. This is simply one of those things you need to discuss one on one during in perso...
