It would be really fantastic if Doctors could share a successful chin implant removal (not replacement, not anything but removal) story and pictures with the group.

Answer: Can a doctor PLEASE share a successful chin implant REMOVAL story with the group? And pictures? Chin implants, when the correct size/style is used, are rarely removed. I have been performing chin implant surgery for over 20 years and have maybe removed 1 or 2 of my own patients! I have removed several implants over the years from patients who were not satisfied with the results of their procedures. If the implant is silicone, it can be easily removed. If the implant has been in a long time or if the patient has loose skin, you may need a little 'tuck'. Otherwise, the removal and recovery is fairly easy when performed by someone with much experience in chin implant surgery.

Answer: Chin Implant Removal Dear Chins, I answer a lot of questions on real self regarding chin implant removal and chin implant dissatisfaction however in my practice I find chin augmentation is a very simple procedure with minimal downtime and a very high success rate. I have only removed a few implants on my own patients in my thirty years of experience with this procedure. The reason for that I personally think is that I choose to perform this procedure with an external incision which allows itself to minimal problems and extremely reduces the risk of infection. This is also in my opinion due to choice of implant style, size and type of implant used. As surgeons we are only authorized to show photographs that patients consent to. I have successfully removed chin implants from many patients who are dissatisfied from other surgeons and the results are fine. Most patients are returned to their pre surgical condition and are as well very satisfied after removal. Some patients still have a degree of augmentation after removal due to the capsular formation of the implant. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.
