Silicone Chin Implant Absorbed by Bone?

Edarling Water
I had a silicon chin implant 11 years ago, but now my chin looks like the same size as before the implant. Could it be due to bone absorption? Do I need to remove it and replace a new one? Is there any other options? Is there any risk if I don't take it out? Thanks.
